Leaving On A Jet Plane

Sophie conquered her 14th flight with flying colors yesterday. She's such a pro. We got on the plane, she took her bottle, and fell asleep for an hour and a half of the two and a half hour flight. The rest of the time she spent making friends with the people around us. It's a good thing Bob and Kate were baby friendly because we were sandwiched in seat B, right between them. She was very content to sit on my lap, but did enjoy holding onto Bob's shirt and holding hands with Kate. As usual, when we de-planed, all the passengers who had looked at us with dread as we boarded now showered Sophie with praise for being such a great baby. That being said, I'm going to attempt not to worry when she inevitably let's out a screechy scream because it's just the nature of the world. Babies have to go places too.
The only real downer to this trip was that the TSA man-handled my stroller, shoving it into a scanner and then shaking and kicking it as they attempted to figure out how to pop it back open. Meanwhile, I'm trying to tell them A) It doesn't fit!! And B) Don't break it. Let me tell or show you. Well, ya win some, ya lose some.
Cleveland is going to be a family filled wk. With 2 aunts and Grandma Morabito living there, we are looking forward to some good times. Aunt Cheryl and Cousin Rob picked us up at the airport and brought us to the apartment here, where met up with Grandma and....Daddy! Sophie was so excited to see her daddy. And he was excited to see her. However, Eric is, if you can believe it, still sick. His cough is still hanging on, especially at night. He is feeling much better though, which is encouraging.
