Philly

Last Friday Noah rode his first bus, train, and airplane. My mom and I took him with us to Philadelphia for my cousin's baby shower. He was amazing! No crying on the plane :) And it was fairly easy traveling with him...I took his diaper bag, my purse, and we shared one small suitcase. No stroller, pack 'n play, car seat etc needed. Wore him around the airport in my Moby Wrap. And he slept with me as usual. Our rental car had a big boy (forward-facing) car seat. He really enjoyed that. At one point he got fussy in the car so I just leaned over to nurse him. Not comfy but it made him happy!

When we got into town we headed over to my Aunt Janet's place for dinner. She made a delicious corn chowder and Noah LOVED it. He kept begging for more. Didn't seem to upset his tummy at all, but I didn't actually give him any pieces of corn. Just broth and potato.

We stayed with my mom's awesome friend, Louise. She's currently house sitting for a couple who owns this old big house across from a golf course. We had the whole upstairs to ourselves which was very...interesting. lol the whole floor (ceiling and walls) was covered in paneling. Except the bathroom. That was all green tile, including the ceiling. Funny. Her daughters and grand kids came over one night for dinner and Noah couldn't take his eyes off them. So cute.

The shower was on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Rachel got so much great stuff. She's well equipped for her little boy. Later that night we hung out at my uncle Andy's house with his five daughters and two year old grandson, Rowan.

We tried to come home on Monday but got bumped off our flight. Could have taken an evening flight but Noah usually has a melt down around 7:00 and we didn't wanna risk it. So we checked into the Marriott :D With no luggage. Bought tooth brushes and then ordered room service. Eating key lime pie in bed while nursing was awesome til I dropped a strawberry on Noah's face. Pissed him off! Oh well, lol.

I got some really cute pics of him sitting in his own seat on the airplane reading a magazine. Just gotta figure out how to get them off my phone...
