Trials and Tribulations of Gate Checking

We arrived safe and sound in California last night. I gate checked Liam's stroller, which is fabulously handy - you leave it right outside the airplane door, and then when you get off the plane, it is waiting for you! Well, that is the theory anyhow. It isn't quite as handy if you forget to get it after you get off the plane, and then you walk out of security...Luckily the nice airline people put it through the oversized baggage window, and I got to pick it up in baggage. Ooops.

Liam did very well sleeping in a strange place - he's in a Pack 'n Play in the same room as me. We haven't slept in the same room since he was eight weeks old! I enjoyed it - I never get to see him sleeping, and I love the little baby sleeping noises that he makes. The downside was that when he woke up at 5:15, there was no putting off getting him! Luckily, only a few minutes after I got him downstairs, Grandpa was there to play with him, and I got to go back to bed for a little while! Ahhh, grandparents...

Today we are heading to Grandpa's work to show Liam off - the first of many such outings! The weather here is cool and gray, but it is a welcome respite from the heat of Arizona. And an opportunity to wear jeans and sweaters - my favorite. I'm not sure what possesed me to move to Arizona. Oh yeah, the husband!

Liam's Nana has already taken quite a few pictures of him in just the few hours he has been awake today. I fear the final picture total may be in the thousands. Aren't digital cameras fabulous?

Later,
Jenny
