Liam is mail backwards...

Can you image flying with a kid? We did, for 3.5 hours to Texas. Of course we got the usual looks from fellow passengers, dreading a flight with a screaming child. Of course Liam was much more behaved than other babies...he was a dream to fly with. Not only was he relaxed sitting on the plane, but he fell asleep just in time for takeoff! He slept for the majority of the trip and awoke happy and playful. A great start to a week long vacation with Grandma and Papa.

The rest of trip went well. Liam was such a good tourist while we visited Houston, San Antonio and Austin. The only trouble the entire vacation was our sleeping arrangements. We stayed at various hotels and tried getting Liam to sleep in a playpen (Graco Pack 'n Play), but he wanted nothing to do with it. We ended up letting him sleep in our bed, which was a huge mistake...now we have to break him of that habit at home!

The flight back wasn't as picture perfect...Liam didn't sleep during takeoff like he did the first time, but he was very relaxed. He did eventually nap, but he woke up with so much energy. All he wanted to do for the last 30 minutes of the plane ride was get down and walk up/down the aisles saying hi to the other passengers. Oh well, at least he's a friendly kid. :)
