Travel

Wow! It's great to be home! We were only gone five days, but we really missed Texas!

Abby was an excellent traveler! She ate as we took off, slept for a while on the plane, played well on our laps, and chomped on her pacifier as we descended so there was no drama. Our only hitch was that we were staying in Heber, which is 45 minutes away from everything we were doing each day, so we were constantly in the car, performing, or walking around. Therefore, finding times and places for Abby to nap was pretty tough. It's crazy traveling with a baby!

Thank goodness my mom came with us to help out so things were a lot easier! Thanks a TON, Mom! She and Abby are bosom buddies now.

All Abby needed was her blanket and she was out.

We almost needed a barf bag on the way home. There was a big storm that came in over DFW so they put our plane in a holding pattern for about 30 minutes. The pilot was doing some pretty tight circles up there and many of us got wobbily legged and queasy, including Abby.

She won't fall asleep unless she's in her car seat or in a crib, so a couple of times we had to stop what we were doing and take her to the car so she could get a nap.

Abby got pretty used to hanging out in her stroller.
