We made it!

We made it!  We got Will a ticket for the flight, so he accrued his first frequent flyer miles today!  He did great on the flight although he did not take a nap and he had a little too much to drink.

One way to keep Will happy these days is to give him his bottle.  He will drink water from it as well as milk, so we just had the bottle on standby for whenever he might need it on the flight.  At first, it seemed like it wouldn't be an issue, and then when he didn't sleep, he wound up drinking way too much....to the point that his outfit was wet.  I don't bring backup clothing for him anymore because we just haven't needed it...until today.  And we had checked his bag with his clothes.

So today we were that family wheeling our baby through the airport in a stroller while he was wearing only a diaper.  I am sure people looked at us and thought we were crazy - traveling with a baby who wasn't wearing any clothes.  If I had seen us, I surely would have passed some judgement.  Luckily we remedied the problem at baggage claim, and we were set for the day.

We checked into our place (which we love and highly recommend! pictures to come...), had lunch, and Will took a 2-hour nap while the rest of the crew went to the grocery store.  After dinner, we  took him to the beach to check things out.  He loves the sand!

The sand was everywhere!  Sand isn't easy to get off of babies... it's going to be a week of long bathes.  I think I washed his hair 3x tonight to get it clean!

Pointing to an airplane - we are in the flight path so he will be seeing lots of them this week!

Will went to bed tonight at 7pm PST so I am optimistic, or maybe just hopeful, that he may adjust to this timezone.  Fingers crossed...
