Food for thought

Aaron had been on a hunger strike until about half an hour ago.  He refused a bottle all day yesterday and would take a little bit of yogurt and cereal but not enough to bother calling a meal.  He finally took about 2 oz this morning and another 3 oz just now.  He started taking it as soon as he found out that Obama won the election.  I think he had butterflies in his stomach thinking about a McCain win.  We told him that we wouldn't be returning to the US unless the Democrat took the election.  

This morning, Aaron had his visa medical exam (for his immigration visa, not sponsored by the credit card).  It was the most cursory physical exam I have ever seen performed on a baby.  When the doctor asked about his eating and sleeping, I said I was concerned that he wasn't eating and was sleeping a lot.  She just smiled and nodded.  

For all y'all who want to know how big he is, he is 8.2 kg = 18 lbs.  The 12 month clothes are a little big on him, but he doesn't care.  He is a happy little fellow who LOVES his rattle and enjoys crawling around the hotel room.  He slept great last night. I'm a little concerned about how much he slept yesterday, but he's been up all morning and seems fine.  I think he is getting more acclimated to us and his environment.
