week 49 pictureswith a backpack full of cheerios and toys on my back and ryan dangling from the front in a baby bjorn, we took our first flight by ourselves to visit my family. although it was only an hour flight, it felt long because he was awake and had to stay in this one spot for the whole time. to my mother's dismay, i allowed him to sit on the floor of our aisle and use the seat as a table (i did lay down my jacket on the seat). ok, so he picked at some junk stuck to the floor, but he was happy... i was prepared for much worse scenarios: chasing him down the main aisle, crawling under people's seats, and the very worst -- having to change a poopy diaper on the plane (in the tiny nasty bathroom or on the seat so folks around us can catch a whiff?)... all of which did not happen so eating cheerios off the floor isn't so bad (kidding mom!)
