Eddie knows how to fly! What a kid, huh? I tell ya what, this one's destined for greatness!
See?
Ha, and you thought I meant fly, like with wings.
No, silly, in an airplane!
He didn't sleep the whole time. Just most of it!
Typical Eddie, he was so interested in all the goings on at the airport.
He really did so well traveling to Illinois! We took a red eye hoping he'd sleep, which he did! I actually did too--a little. Unfortunately, the only sleep I got on the flight was during the meal. Yes, meal. Did I mention we were upgraded to first class? Our mileage status at work; dozens of long overnight flights to the southern hemisphere will do that for you. Anyway, it was marvelous! Lots of room, boarding first, and food. Except I missed the meal. Jonathan enjoyed it though! And then proceeded to fall asleep for the rest of the flight. He even slept through Eddie waking up, crying, and me handing him a complaining baby while I got out the necessary equipment to shush him. That's right, he "woke up" enough to take Eddie from me, but not enough to remember any of it!
After a delay in Chicago (which actually worked out fine since I got a nap and Eddie slept most of the layover!) we made it to central Illinois and the whirlwind of a weekend began!
This is pretty much how the weekend went.
One popular little celebrity!
All the attention tired him out! The first night he slept 9 hours straight, and he continued to sleep through the night all weekend! I didn't mind! How do I get him to do that now? Hmmm.
There were a lot of first encounters for little Eddie!
Uncle Caleb
Aunt Liv
Soon-to-be-Aunt Amelia
Uncle Jesse
Great-grandpa Rusty and Great-grandma Joyce
Another highlight of the weekend was getting together with some cousins of mine who also have little boys the same age as Eddie (all within a few weeks of each other!). They had a ball jabbering, kicking, cooing, and us moms had fun comparing notes while the dads did the same, over coffee and brunch. All this while gorgeous white flakes floated down outside the window. I thought it was so picturesque! All the Illinoisans were (and are) sick of the snow!
The boys! We hope they'll be great friends through the years,
and make as many great memories as we did!
Quality time with the grandparents!
I think this might be my favorite snapshot of the weekend!
Or maybe this one! He turned 3 months old while we were there!
And, the reason we were visiting, to see Aunt Rachel get baptized!
What a special weekend! So glad we could be there!
I love this. Pretty sure there's a picture just like this one where I'm the baby.
And, no worries,
I didn't miss out on the meal on the way home!
