Flying high in the sky......

Ava experienced her first flight last week when we flew to Chicago to see family and friends! I was a little nervous about the trip, but luckily she was a champ! She nursed during take-off which put her to sleep for about the first hour of the flight. Once she woke up Steve played with her until she got fussy and then she nursed again and fell asleep. This was pretty much her pattern for the entire flight, nurse, sleep, play, and repeat! On the way home it was just Ava and I since Steve had to fly back earlier in the week for work. I was very nervous to do this by myself, but yet again Ava was amazing! The one thing I learned for next time is that less is more! I brought WAY TOO MUCH stuff on the plane! 5 outfits, 2 blankets, pretty much every toy she owns, and 10 diapers. What was I thinking? It's a 4 hour flight.....this much stuff was NOT needed! Lesson learned!
