It was Asher's first flight {outside the womb} and he did amazing. We flew in the evening since Drew had to work all day, but A refused to sleep. It was just all too exciting!
He made lots of friends in the airport.
Actually, while Drew was walking Ash around a man came over to him and asked if Asher was the "e-trade baby." People have said that he's a look-alike for the funny commercial baby, but it was pretty hilarious to have a stranger ask about it in the middle of Reagan International. :o)
Once we got on the plane Asher got settled in. We decided that he is way too much of a wiggle worm to be held on our laps, so we got A his own seat. Since he's still under 2 Asher either needed a car seat or this special harness to keep him secure. Drew's parents already had a car seat waiting for us, so we just got the CARES harness. It simulated the 5-point harness that Asher is used to and worked like a charm to keep him in place!
How ridiculously adorable is he in this seat! Oh my stars, I love him.
The ride from the airport to the house was pretty long so A finally passed out about 3 hours past his bedtime. That night was very, very rough. Lots of waking up {overtired + strange bed = bad sleep}. The next morning, though, we woke up to this.
Happy times begin!
So cute! That totally cracks me up about the E-trade baby. I do see it, though. Did they give Asher, wings? They gave gave P some from her first flight and I put them in her baby book.
ReplyDeleteHaha - that's hilarious! I still hold that he's even more adorable that the e-trade baby. Whenever people ask things like that, I'm always tempted to say yes to see what they'll say...haha!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the first bad night, but glad he adjusted quickly and you guys had a great trip!
He looks like such a handsome little man in his seat!
I'm so glad that the flight went so well!!!! Success!
ReplyDelete:) Asher is so darn cute.. and in that big seat. Yes...adorable!!!
I know this is an old post but was wondering if you are still liking the CARES harness? We are taking a 4 hour flight next month and even though my daughter will only be 22 months, we bought her a seat. Do you still use it with Asher when you fly now? TIA!
