Milestone! Baby has taken her first plane trip, and everyone's eardrums survived intact. We took a short flight to visit her paternal grandparents, and she was an angel. Considering how much traveling this kid did in utero, it's not too surprising that she's so far a pretty good passenger. The only major fussiness was when she desparately needed a diaper change, but we were so anxious to get past airport security first we didn't want to stop and look for a bathroom. I was nervous about getting busted for trying to bring a toxic weapon through the airport (it was a pretty bad diaper!) I guess the sniffer dogs are used to diaper gravy. The only hitch the whole trip was having to get the stroller down a flight of stairs at the end of the jetway. Oh yeah, and I spilled a bottle of formula on my lap before takeoff, and had to sit around in wet pants for a few hours (karma can be a bitch). Aside from that, all went very smoothly, and our daughter got to meet the first of her paternal uncles last night. Next up: cousins!!!!
