1st plane ride, trip to Florida, and 25 weeks old!

Bear with me, there are lots of photos in this post.

On Friday, May 13th, we got ready for Chloe's first plane ride. The flight was at 5:30pm, so we had to leave home no later than 3:30pm. If you remember Chloe's schedule, she takes two naps by 1pm and then her last nap somewhere around 3pm. Her first two naps before we left home were both good ones, and we just needed her to take a good powernap in the car on the way to the airport.


Here we are heading to the airport. Chloe is very awake and happy.



If all would have gone according to our plans, Chloe would have fell asleep as soon as we got on the road, however she fell asleep just 5 minutes away from the airport. Shoot, not the way we wanted to start this trip.



We are on the monorail to our gate. Chloe is a little groggy, but doing okay.



We are now just waiting for boarding. We bought this umbrella stroller just for this trip. It's already proving to be very handy.



It's almost time to board. Chloe is ready to show her boarding pass.



We fed Chloe during take off and she fell asleep very easily soon afterwards. What a good girl!!!



She did wonderfully on that plane ride. She woke up about 45 min into the first nap and then she fell asleep again about 45 minutes before we landed. She fussed a little, but did not cry at all. Now, she is in the arms of Halmunee and Halahbujee.



Just as predicted, she woke up right at 6am Denver time the next day morning. She woke up very happy and ready to play.



After her morning nap, we went over to Chloe's great grandparents house for a visit. I think Chloe is so lucky to have great grandparents.



She didn't show any signs of stranger anxiety at all. She automatically became the favorite great granddaughter, since there is only one. :)



Chloe got to sport many of her unworn summer clothes in Florida.



At dinner time, she got to see her great grandparents again and meet my aunt and uncle too.



My aunt fell in love with Chloe instantly. And, Chloe loved being with my aunt.



Uncle Gerry however was a different story. Sorry uncle Gerry, don't take it personally...



At dinner time, Phil and I were in heaven! My dad prepared this fresh sashimi dinner. Apparently, one of the three fish on this plate (white one with red stripes) was swimming in the ocean in the morning.



Now its almost Chloe's bedtime and she is winding down with halmunee and Violet.



Halahbujee is giving Chloe her last meal of the day.



Chloe woke up the next day happy as always. She has been staying right on her schedule according to Denver time. It's been really great.



Learning a few things from halmunee and halahbujee.



Just kicking it with daddy just as they do at home.



Three days went by so fast, and now its already time to go back home. We are headed to the airport again.
This time I caught it on camera, Chloe's new thing, putting her feet in her mouth.



She fell asleep in the baby bjorn right before boarding and stayed asleep when we got seated. Before take off, one of the flight attendants made us get her out of the baby bjorn. We didn't understand the reason for this. Of course, she woke up and we were not very happy with the flight attendant.



Again, she did really well on the plane ride back home. Just a few fusses, but no crying at all.
Now, she is back at home playing with her toys. We really miss having our family around!
