We play Airplane with DM regularly. In fact Aunty is playing it with him as I type this. He enjoys the game.
Yesterday, he got to go on a real Airplane ride.
He was VERY VERY good. He was a lapbaby, and there was no room for Grandma's carseat (our carseat would have been a pain in the ass to transport). So he sat in my lap.
He enjoy it. No sleep for baby, but a lot of looking out the window and minimal fussing (just at the end when I was trying to get him to suck on something to help with the pressure change and he wasn't having it).
OTOH, we ate somthing that upest stomachs. We had two rounds of very loose poop (diarriah?) in the airport and then on the plane...before the seatbelt sign went off. >_< Two pairs of pants later and he finally stopped.
The way back is more problematic. We have a quick layover though thankfully no plane change. So twice up, and twice down. Hopefully it won't be a huge problem.
The airline did damage the carseat. Nothing serious was hurt, just the belt positioner for when it is a booster seat, but damage is damage. Mom was annoyed.
But now we are in DC and will probably hit up the Zoo today!

Finally Better and Milestones!
After yet another trip to the doctor, and another round of antibiotics (plus prednesone) later, the baby recovered yesterday. He was still coughing a little and got snotty once or twice yesterday but today he has been fine. He also stopped wheezing and snoring.
But more then that, DM is on the move. A couple of days ago, he started to scooch around on his belly. It was funny to watch and I wish I had been paying enough attention to record it. But he'd kick with his legs while stretching his arms out to reach whatever object he was after. When he couldn't reach it, he'd kick again and then twist his upper body. So it was a crawl/roll thing.
Today he started the army man crawl. For those that don't know babies, that is when they move mostly with their legs but use their front arms to pull forward. Like army men do when on the ground (my mom called it commando style).
My mom is also convinced that by cosleeping, we are going to roll over on the baby. But then she thinks CIO is the best method. No one in this house thinks that and James and I are happy with our sleeping arrangement.
More later, for now it's bed.
