my first plane trip

We're happy to report Baby Jude had a great first airplane ride to Baltimore. It was a rough night prior to the trip...we now think the house was just too cold for Mister Baby. But once he was up, he was all smiles. We made our first trip into TSA world at the airport. I had to carry Jude through the metal detector. They even had me put his baby blanket through the scanner...strange.
Jude may be the first baby to 'eat' in the office cubicle section of the American Airlines admirals club. But it was saturday morning and no one was in that more private area..so it worked great for mommy.
Once we got to the plane it was about his nap time. And fortunately Jude cuddled on daddy's lap and fell asleep as we left the gate. Jude slept almost the entire flight...much to the discomfort of daddy's leg and arm which fell asleep holding a 15 pound baby.
I admit we were relieved to not be 'that' family with a baby that cries the whole time. But we're learning now that its certainly probably not something 'that' family wants or enjoys and we hope we'll be more sensitive to 'those' families on our future flights :-)
Jude is now enjoying hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Miller's house. And he finally got to meet his great grandmother. We'll post pictures soon.
