first flight

We hit the ground running last Saturday! Overall, Ivory did well flying; the second plane was not full and so she got her own seat, which was wonderful. She slept the entire time. The screaming that she did do, was limited to how much she could do before she just totally wore herself out, so about 10 minutes - which actually seems much longer on a plane that is 30,000 feet in the air with a lot of picky people on it. Unfortunately, preventative measures were limited, as it's somewhat impossible to logically convince a baby that sucking on the pacifier will help her ears. Here are a few photos of Ivory's first flight:

International traveler at 4 1/2 months old! This was around 5:30 in the morning - plenty early for all of us and especially the little girl. 

So I had seen this thing that you can attach to the seat tray in front of you online; it cost $60 so I decided to try making my own. It actually worked really well considering that I guessed on all the measurements, and she did like it a lot, although there are a few changes I would make to make it more comfortable for her next time.

At the baggage claim. She actually liked the view of the airport from her front pack. I don't think I could have gotten through the airport without it!

We waited for the girls, then drove back to Princeville Saturday night and were there for church on Sunday. It was wonderful to see everyone! Sunday night we went to a shower for my cousin and his fiance - Jake & Kate, so excited for them, and that was in Forrest. And then we spent the night at Matt & Kim's (Grant's sister) before driving to Indianapolis on Monday morning.
