First in Flight

You may be thinking that we headed to North Carolina but NO. Max took his first plane ride and it was a looooooooong one. He exceeded all expectations and was a real champ. A traveling pro!

There were three of us headed for Oakland, California on July 3rd for Janet and Jeff's wedding (July 5). Max, Barb and Max's Auntie Sarah, who was such a good sport to sign on for this journey.



We were a little nervous about how it would go but everything fell into place and we made it. Max made not a peep the whole trip. He did a little singing but it was definitely a happy noise and not so loud. Max thinks Sarah is the greatest because she lets him pull her hair and grab her nose and all sorts of fun things.

We had a several hour lay over in Seattle and both my mom and brother were able to come visit. It was great to see them and Max finally got to meet his Uncle Jefferson! Thanks for coming out Mom and Jeff.



Max meets his Uncle Jeff, who has a very cool toy with pictures of fish. Of course, Max was just as interested in tasting the phone as looking at it.




Here are some pictures of Max on the flight home.




He loved looking out the window and banging on it. He was quite a bit more lively on the trip home and let out a few shrieks. They were good-natured shrieks but shrill nonetheless. I'm sure the gal in front of us was thrilled to be wedged between Falsetto Max behind her and the crying baby girl next to her.



Asleep at last...
