Travelin' Baby

First of all, I feel the need to tell you that like all people without children, I said things like, "when I have kids, they will never..." and everyone with kids will tell you that they all have done things they said they would never do. Some examples, "I will never let my baby sleep in the bed with me", "I will never give my baby formula", "I will never let my kid watch television". For me, my "I will never" was, "I will never take my baby on a plane without buying them their own seat". Never say never.

We took James to Ohio to meet up with family and spend some time on Lake Erie. We had so much fun and many adventures. The first adventure, was the plane ride. I was very nervous about this. The flight there had the standard friday night 2 hour delay, but as it turns out, the airport is a super fun place for a 10 month old.

Here is James during check in with all the stuff:

When we finally got on the plane, it was pretty much empty. This was a good thing because it turns out that airplanes are jungle gyms for a 10 month old. James wanted to climb over, jump on, touch, and put in his mouth pretty much everything he saw.



The best part of the trip, was that James got to see his cousins. Here is James and the baby. He wanted to put her in his mouth, too.

In case you are wondering, yes, Mr. C is wearing James's shirt.

And finally, the boys on the lake:





When I got home, I realized, I didn't really take any pictures without James in them. Sorry, but he was just so darn cute!
