Da Plane, Da Plane

Piper took her first flight on our weekend to and from Oklahoma. We arrived at around 11:30 pm local time on Thursday night and left at 6:20 am on Monday morning. She must have thought that airplanes are for sleeping since we were flying during times she normally sleeps. She did a great job flying taking naps on all her flights. We managed to get a few photos on our early morning flight back.

Yes she was still in her pjs.

On Southwest it is open seating and since we are boarding with a baby we get to board first. On our way out to Oklahoma our first flight was completely booked!! But our other flights were not so full so we told Piper to make as much noise as possible as people were boarding the plane so that no one wanted to sit in our row even though we were close to the front. Her problem was that she was so cute everyone walking by wanted to stop and talk to her. We took the aisle seat, of course, and no one really wanted to be stuck by the window or in the middle of two parents with a baby going back and forth. It worked and Piper ended up getting her own seat where she slept much more easily than if she had been in a lap. She prefers to be put down to go to sleep - which makes it very difficult in church or on a plane. (The flight attendants couldn't get enough of her and when then weren't delivering drinks or going thru the safety precautions - they were hanging out at our row talking to Piper)

She had her morning breakfast -

stopping only to smile....

and spit...... a few times.

She also rocked out to some of Daniel's music.
