We made it to Mobile

Happy late Turkey Day!!!! We made it to Mobile, AL with flying colors. Peyton was an angel. She slept on both legs of the flight. She also experienced her first race. We had to run from our first flight to catch our second. Rob and another young guy on our flight took off to hold the plane. Peyton and I brought up the rear. I was trying to avoid shakin baby syndrome. She was in the Bjorn and I was holding her head and speed walking. I discovered two things: 1. That is not easy. 2. I am very out of shape. I was huffing and puffing when we arrived at the flight. Fortunately we made it. Our luggage did not, but it came in on a later flight so we received it that night.

Peyton has been enjoying the quality time with her cousins Garrett and Emily. The three of them are so cute together. Peyton has also been enjoying the mommy time. She likes being able to breastfeed whenever she wants. I hope she'll take a bottle on Monday :)

I will upload photos when we get back on Monday.

Hope everyone counted their blessing this holiday and stuffed their faces!

I think rushing through an airport with child in a baby bjorn must be one of those hallmark mom moments.

Can't wait to see pics of her first THanksgiving!

yeaA!! The fun traveling with babies :) LOL I agree - sprinting with the bjorn or stroller is a rite of passage for all traveling parents....I'd rather that than screaming child on plane!

How was the weather in Mobile? Hopefully warm :) We've had rain and wind :-P echhhh!
