Amelia's First Airplane Ride!!

This is our Amelia - a new air traveler! For Christmas, we went to Detroit to celebrate Christmas with Amelia's Uncle Tom, Aunt Michelle and their family! Gramma and Grandpa came up to Minneapolis and we all flew out together, which was wonderful since they were incredibly helpful with ALL the stuff we had. Amelia also benefited because she didn't have to go to daycare the day before the trip and was able to spend it with Gramma and Grandpa!
Don't be fooled by this look of concern! Amelia was such a pro at the whole travel thing! We were very proud of her and also relieved!

Grandpa, Gramma and Amelia. All of the things you can see around them are all ours! It was so nice to have extra hands!

All smiles!!!
On both flights we waited to feed her until we were about to take off and then gave her a pacifier to help with the air pressure changes. Amelia never cried once and in fact took a nap on both flights! I was very concerned about blow-outs on the plane. And Amelia did fill a very fragrant diaper, but luckily gramma was there to help change Amelia on the plane and avoid a full on blowout!

I didn't know you had family in Michigan! Detroit isn't too far from us (in fact I find myself frequently at that airport!) I know you come to visit your family, but if you are ever in the area and would be interested in meeting up for lunch or something, we would LOVE to see you!
