Have baby - will travel!

We are back from our 12 day trip (2 lost to the actual travelling) we have had a wonderful time and our son was just an excellent traveller.

Whilst it was not easy, he certainly made it breezy! Coming back we had way more things than we set off with - as family and friends generously gave him presents. Our boy has a very good nature, but I don't think we can give all the credit to that....

The journey was well planned out, I tried to keep meal times on schedule and with the outbound flight, being a night flight, we brought bedtime stories etc. The return leg was a daytime flight and the baby carrier came in very handy for this and I did not feel guilty walking the aisles to help him sleep.

For his ears - we just gave him some baby tylenol 20 mins before take off and landing and gave him his soother and well he seemed to fair better than we did!

So rested and relaxed was he, that as we waited for those without children to disembark first, he smiled, giggled and generally cheered up all the passengers as they left the plane.

I am sure that the journey would have been a lot tougher without bringing all basic provisions and also with a less mellow fellow. All in all though we are all delighted to be back home, he is especially pleased to see all his toys that he has been parted from for nearly two weeks - I couldn't pack everything!

Will now get back on schedule with articles!
