This is Toby and Aiden at the airport. We went to Austin, TX to visit family. He took two flights at less than 2 months of age and did beautifully on both. All the flight attendants loved him and we sat around other passengers who shared their stories about their kids or grandkids. It was very sweet. The secret which Aunt Stephanie imparted on us is to feed the baby during take-off and landing. It totally works!! Aiden got to meet Uncle Ryan and Grandpa,
as well as my good friends the Butlers.
The weather there was about 40 degrees warmer than Chicago on average. That took some getting used to. Aiden got his first sun-burn in the park. Come to find out babies can and should wear sunscreen!
On St. Patrick's Day (one of Toby's favorite holidays)
we got all dressed up in green and went to the Oasis restaurant, which overlooks Lake Travis. It's very pretty out there. Then we had plans to go out and party it up on 6th street downtown Austin, but the wear of less than 6 hrs of sleep every night since Jan. 20th hit us at it's usual 9pm and we bailed.
Korbin enjoyed giving Aiden kisses and helping him put in and take out his pacifier!
We spent our days having meals with the family, checking out the city, playing with his cousin Korbin and Aunt Ellie, unpacking Grandpa's house, taking naps, and looking at apartments. It was a great trip all-in-all.
