Our Trip to the Coast!!!

Well Aiden and I survived our trip to the west coast to meet Baby Elizabeth and visit my sister and brother in law. All my anxieties about flying with Aiden were really unfounded, and looking back a bit ridiculous to have--he absolutely loved flying. It was really helpful that we had an empty seat next to us on both flights, which allowed Aiden to play and nap (although he didn't sleep much, there was too much excitement!!!). Aiden enjoyed flirting with all the pretty flight attendants and showing off for the other passengers. Everyone around me commented on what a good baby he is--I must admit I was a pretty proud mommy--I could almost feel myself beaming with pride. Once we arrived to San Fransisco we were greeted by my dad, mom, and sister Cammie, who all helped me with our luggage (I packed WAY TOO MUCH!!). Aiden enjoyed watching and talking to Baby Elizabeth, and amazingly seemed to know to be gentle with her--usually when he's touching my face he'll grab and scratch, but when touching Elizabeth's face he just touched very softly. Aiden also enjoyed getting to see his Nana who he's missed the last 3 weeks. The last few days we have tried to get Aiden back on Kansas time--the last few nights he has not fallen asleep until 9 or 10, and yesterday he didn't wake up for the day until 11. Last night he went down a little earlier so hopefully we are getting closer to getting him back on Kansas time. Below are a few pictures of our trip. Stay tuned for an update on our swim lessons!!! Our first lesson is tomorrow--I cant wait!

Aiden has some fun with Granddad at Aunt Cammie, Uncle Bill, and Cousin Elizabeth's home.

Aiden and I enjoying ourselves at the Golden Gate Bridge--there were several pictures with me and Aiden with Aunt Cammie and Granddad but unfortunatley this is the only one that Aiden is smiling in--silly digital cameras--seem to be somewhat delayed:(
