Travel

Dad flew out to Colorado today (on his way to visit Matthew & Stacy). It was an adventurous day! Milo actually napped this morning (!!!), in her bassinet, but it came at the wrong time. She was still asleep at noon, when Dad and I needed to head out to the airport. So we ended up getting lunch at 12:30 and leaving for the airport at 1:10.

I wrapped Milo up and carried her on my chest, and she slept soundly the entire way to the airport - that’s one bus ride, a BART ride, and an airport tram plus a decent amount of walking. What a trooper! She woke up just as I left the airport, so I fed her before getting back on BART. Then, to my delight, she was fully awake and alert on BART the whole way back to the city; she looked around at everything and even smiled a little bit!

The fun was over, however, when we got back to San Francisco. She fussed like a lion when I got on the bus home. So I got off at the next stop, adjusted the wrap, walked around until she was calmed, and got on another bus. Apparently buses were her kryptonite today, as she started wailing immediately upon entering the second bus. So, I got off at the next stop and walked around for about 30 minutes. She stayed asleep this time and I was able to get home (on the bus). What an ordeal! She was such a superstar all day, though, I couldn’t blame her for some fussing in the afternoon. My girl had a long day!
