It seems Jack has decided to loose his baby fat a bit early. He isn't too interested in eating food these days. I think he is also cutting his eye teeth so I am sure that is contributing to his appetite. Oh the joys of being one!
He took his first car ride Indonesian style. Now this may be hard for some of you to read, but understand that this is not something we choose but can't change. Here in Indonesia, there are seatbelts in the front seat and it is law that you must wear them. If you don't you'll get fined around $100. The irony is that there aren't seat belts in the back seat at all, so obviously it's not required or possible to wear them or use them. So... how do you take a baby in the car? On your lap! It was a bit shocking to us as we all got in the car without a car seat, but Jack didn't seem to mind. He snuggled into my lap and enjoyed the view of all the cars and motorbikes. I can't imagine what's going through his mind as he takes all this in.
We are learning we need to be even more patient with him as he adjusts, while at the same time, continuing to train him to be an obedient and contented little boy. One more reason to trust God in this adventure.

sounds exciting - poor jack - i can't imagine what it would be like to be a one year old and to deal with all the changes without really understanding the whys of it all. Course it is interesting for grownups too! God Bless You!! C
Sounds like our Jack is teaching you to, like, set an alarm. He's smart enough to know he needed to sleep a bit longer.I pray you will all get adjusted quickly.And be prepared 4 when he decides to eat.He will be starvin'.
