Taking a baby on an airplane should be illegal. Scotty and I are presently in Virginia visiting his family. We opted for a direct flight in order to make the trip as short as possible. We figured Kayden would take her afternoon nap and honestly only dreaded take off and landing because of the anticipated popping ears. Well, what we really should have been dreading was the ENTIRE flight! We decided to bring her car seat on to the plane because she had her own seat. Our hope was that she would sleep in her car seat for at least some of the flight… WRONG! She was awake the whole flight and the car seat ended up taking up a seat and a half! Not only was she awake the whole flight, but she never went into her intrusive car seat! She was happy for most of the flight, but she definitely had her moments. She would scream randomly when we didn’t get her treats fast enough or if she couldn’t figure out the iPad- apparently it’s her iPad now! For the entire flight Scotty and I both worked tirelessly to keep our child entertained. Luckily we were surrounded by grandparents that just thought Kayden was the cutest thing. I have been dreading our return flight since we picked up our bags at the baggage claim!!

This picture was taken right before take off. As we were taxiing, the flight attendant told us that we could not be seated in the row behind the exit row. So we had to switch seats (which included a HUGE car seat and all of our unpacked treats, toys, books, shoes, blankets, bottles, etc.) and literally a minute after we buckled into our new seats, we took off!

We have been having a great time in Virginia. I will post more pics soon!
