Welp, pretty sure our babe is ready to drop to just one nap a day. Have been looking forward to and also dreading this nap transition, but at least she's gonna do it while I'm still at home/not when she goes off to daycare.

There's so much more time for activities!

We have our first plane trip coming up. 4+ hour flight to the other coast. Hoping all is quiet and smooth.

Oh yes, that part I'm looking forward to for sure. The transition itself I am not. I'm too impatient, I want it to happen overnight basically. Lol.

i was going to post something relevant but i forgot what it was

Being forgetful is relevant to parenting.

I can only imagine how we will deal with the first plane ride. Right now we are working on tooth #2 and pulling up in our crib, crawling absolutely everywhere. This guy's a wild man. When he starts walking I think he will begin running within a week or two lol. I'm in for a trip

Please, for the love of every non parent on that plane, slip the nipper a baby benadryl 30 mins before takeoff.

Not walking yet here, and totally cool with it! Has made all this time off together mostly pretty relaxed, heh.

I gotta say, waiting an extra 20-30 mins for take out is usually fine...unless you are planning a bottle at take off...mainly to help pop her ears. First plane ride was slightly rough, but luckily we were surrounded by a lot of other kids under 8. So the occasional yelping seemed to be ok.


definitely not flying for another year or two!

I wouldn't (and didn't) fly with a young baby unless it was an emergency. I don't think it's fair to the baby, first and foremost, or the passengers on the plane who have to listen to a potentially miserable infant.

I know it can and does work out just fine for many people, but yeah I couldn't do it. A child's infancy is such a short time in their life - in our lives - travel can wait.

For the first 6 months I used to beat myself up thinking I should have been carting my baby out and around more places, but then I realized, being a working mother, this period of her life was the most time I would have with her by myself for probably her whole life.
