August 17 - Eternity: Either really love or really hate the car seat, stroller, and BabyBjörn
She's either going to prove to be an excellent traveler and a very flexible child, or she is going to teach her parents a big lesson about over-scheduling a 6-week old! ;) Either way, travel stories will be in copious supply real soon.
And for a little picture update on Gabriela:

Her thighs and arms abound with little fat rolls now! And she has learned how to make big splashes in the tub - watch out Daddy!
Her hair is growing, especially in the back. The kid's going to be sporting a sweet mullet real soon!
This human "S" is the form she takes anytime I put her in her crib for a nap. This is also how she has rolled herself over on a few occasions. She rolls from her back to her side and then bends her head back far enough until she flips over onto her belly. If she happens to land with her mouth on her hand, then she happily gnaws on that for a while. Otherwise she gets mad and yells for one of her servants (Mom or Dad) to flip her back over.

Gariela will probably come through with flying colors. You, on the other hand, maybe not. I got tired just reading the itinerary :)When I travelled with Kevin at 7 months, he was great - but I was worn out!!
Have a great trip!! We might actually see each other on the road to Rio - we are driving to and from BH on the same days!
i found your blog through "expat woman" and am totally loving it. Can't wait to hear about all your travels with the wee one.
what??? No Rio Grande do Sul? :)
She is soo cute, I can't wait to meet her!!! and see you guys too, we miss you bunches!!!

Uhm, excuse me dear, but I did not see "meet up with best friend from southwest ga" any where on the agenda. I think you have a little tweeking to do to the little princess agenda because I might just burst into flames if I don't get to hold that adorable thing before she is like 4!!!
If it's possible, she gets prettier every day!!!
Your blog is really cute. But just a note, in English it's 'Brazilian' and 'Brazil' not 'Brasil' or 'Brasilian'.
^
She obviously knows that, she intentionally writes "Brasil" and "Brasilian" exactly because it´s spelled with an "s" in Portuguese. She´s "aportuguesando" the english name, since many brazilians complain that "Brasil is writen with a 's'"!! I guess =P É um gesto simpático.
I also guess we, poor blog readers, won't see updates till the trip is over! :-(
You need to take a break and post! Apparently I am attached to your blog, as I keep coming back each day and getting disappointed at the lack of witty updates!
I am brazilian and I want to defend the foreigners that write Brazil with Z: Brasil WAS SPELT with Z in the beginning of the 20th century!!
Only around the 20s or 30s that Brazil started to be written with S in portuguese.
Yep, I know the English spelling of the country where I currently reside is BRAZIL. But after moving here, it seemed strange to spell it that way. And so, in my crazy Portuguese/English language combo that I've adopted, I always spell it BRASIL. I''m just sort of weird like that! ;)
