Am attempting to embed a little video of Elsa Aden here – I don’t know if this will work.
And if it does, it will probably be the world’s most boring video, except to me. I can stare at her for hours, but I don’t expect that is quite as fascinating to anyone else but me.

This baby could definitely use an attitiude adjustment. All that sullenness. Doesn’t she ever smile?
The best video ever! Astrid gives it eleven thumbs up (cause you know, counting isn’t really her strong suit!)

The squawking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It’s funny how much younger she seems now that I see her in video–she’s just a wee baby!

OMG she’s so beautiful. I love the little smiles…melting my heart. I know this moment you shared. It’s exquisite and you’ll never forget it. It brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of those first moments with Amara. I can’t wait to meet her. Enjoy the journey. Ethiopia is an amazing place! Love to you and Elsa!

she is so adorable–and happy! Hope the trip home is uneventful–will be looking forward to Ms. Elsa’s “reveal”–and am planning on delivering food (for you) upon your return!

I love this!! And I really liked hearing how you guys are pronouncing Aden, too.
Now I am not only blinded by the cuteness but deaf from the cooing.
