Happy Birthday Gammy!

For my mom's birthday, Brooks and I flew down to surprise her. It was a great success! We had a lot of fun hanging out with Gammy, Pops, Auntie Pat and Uncle Gene. It's always fun being around family.


Traveling Quotes

When traveling with a baby there are some things that I like to hear, and some things I don't like to hear - here's a list of some of the quotes from our weekend of travel:

THINGS I LIKE TO HEAR:
"What a cute baby!"
"He looks just like you!"
"I love babies," said the man sitting next to me on the plane.
"What a good baby!"
"He's so strong!"
"What a cutie!"
"He just smiles all the time - What a happy boy!"
"We're landing a little early," said the pilot.
"Can I help you?"
"Did he sleep the whole flight? What a good baby!"
"I didn't even know there was a baby on this flight!"

THINGS I DON'T LIKE TO HEAR:
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"She's so cute!"
"Hello, Brooke!"
"Faaarrttttt!!!" went Brooks' behind as we were getting ready to take off (it wasn't just a fart of course).
"Can't you just feed him!!!"
"What is he, like, 8 weeks old?"
"Our gate is not ready yet, so we're going to have to sit here on the runway for a bit," said the pilot.
"Sorry - we have not yet located your carseat," said the customer service man.

Brooks will hopefully be the expert traveler with the many experiences that he has already had, and the ones that he has to look forward to this holiday season. Let's just hope that I can cope with all the ups and downs that come with traveling!
