First Flight!
Friday afternoon we left work early, picked Sophie up from daycare and headed to the airport for our first family flight experience. Jenn & Kelly were having their wedding reception in Boise on Saturday, and we weren't about to miss it!
We got to the airport without a hassle, and checked our one suitcase. We were both anxious about under- (not having the right stuff in a critical moment) and over- (having so many bags that we can't manage the squirming infant) packing, and had pared things down to what seemed just right: we still had the stroller, car seat, pump, diaper bag, soft cooler and blanket to deal with in the airport and on the plane.
We took off around Sophie's usual bedtime and the white noise lulled her to sleep pretty quickly. She ate from her bottle as we took off and had her pacifier in for the landing, which seemed to work well for the ear-pressure adjustment. She slept through the car rental and all the way to Kelly & Ben's, then kept right on sleeping after we put her in the Pack'N'Play.
