Airplane

Yesterday we took Josh on his 3rd flight. We were headed to Florida for a long weekend with my family. I actually thought the flight was better than our flight to CO last year, but Julian disagreed. For the most part Josh was what you would expect from a kid that had to sit still for 2 hrs and missed his nap. He only escaped from our seats once ;-). He figured out how to remove his seatbelt in 0.2 seconds, so it was hard to keep him sitting unless he had a toy or snack. But he didn't cry much, just wanted to explore. He loved seeing all the airplanes and buses driving around at the airport. Julian bought him headphones and a little cheapie MP3 player so we could play him his favorite songs. That kept him quiet about 10 min, which honestly I thought was pretty good. I made sure to feed him a snack on takeoff and landing to help if he had any ear pressure, and either he had no problems or my trick worked. The return flight we will probably break out the iPad for him, so hopefully that will help.

This was our first flight with Josh when he was big enough to walk onto the plane. It made him seem both big and really small at the same time!

Here are some pictures from the flight
