First Plane Ride and Attention Overload

Atticus and I travelled to Oklahoma to see family this past week. He spent wonderful time with both sets of grandparents, three aunts, three uncles, four cousins, one great aunt, three second cousins, and even his great-grandmother. Mommy got to hold him to what probably adds up to a total of two hours in one weeks time due to all of the eager hands ready to grab him up. He did amazingly well with all of the new faces and places and gave lots of cute smiles and giggles. He must be a born traveller, because he took the plane ride completely in stride and didn't bat an eye at turbulence or airplane bathrooms (how in the world did they get a changing table in there). He was a hit with all of the other passengers, and two flight attendants completely fell in love with him on the way home.

Despite bribes and threats, though, Mommy and Baby made it on the plane to return to Daddy in Louisville. And we were greeted with the biggest smile, warmest hug, and prettiest bouquet of flowers we have ever seen. It's good to be home.

Atticus and I are getting ready to fly to Oklahoma to see family this Friday. Unfortunately, CJ is unable to go; he's made me sign multiple documents that I will be returning in one weeks time and no longer. I think he's afraid Atticus will start walking and talking while we are gone.

In honor of his daddy, Atticus is sporting a cool Theodore Roosevelt onesie in the picture below.

Atticus has a few foods under his belt: rice cereal, carrots, apple sauce, oatmeal cereal and avocado and green beans, both of which he didn't care for. So far, carrots have gotten the funniest reaction. He warmed up to them, though, after the second or third time.
