The flight went smoothly. He was the quietest baby (out of 3) in our part of the plane. We got two bulkhead seats together in the center. The woman to or left managed to move to a different empty seat, so we got a free third seat. August liked all the new foods – I gave him cranberries for the first time in the airport, then on the plane he had a broccoli/cheese thing and an apple sauce/something mixture. And then he gulped down a good chunk of Carly’s beef and pasta and vegetables dinner. He slept for 8 hours. All on Carly.
We got off the flight, got our luggage (with a little delay as the conveyor belt got stuck – but that gave us time to change him and me, as he leaked on me when Carly went to the bathroom) and were greeted by Chuck and Cherie.
Some difficulty and crying getting August in the car seat until Carly figured out how to adjust the straps, but after that he did surprisingly well, although Carly did a lot to entertain him as we went.
We made one stop to pick up the keys to Glecy’s apartment. I slept maybe 20 to 30 minutes along the way.
We made it to Centralia. Surprisingly, August didn’t fall asleep in the car. He was excited by their house and went immediately to playing and interacting with them.
The three of us went over to Steve and Claremay’s for about 45 minutes, where he had fun with them and the box of toys Claremay brought out, but we headed back when he fell asleep nursing.
He fell asleep in the car, and then transferred easily out of the car and into bed.
