Travel Recap; Texas
misty · Fri, Oct 30, 201510-29-15
Notes about the flight:
- Milo slept during the flights, which means they went very smoothly. On the descent, I fed her, so that helped with any ear discomfort.
- During the first flight (from SFO to Houston), Milo pooped a big, heavy poop (which spilled out of her diaper and got all over her pants, swaddle, and my leg). Changing her in the tiny bathroom was something.
Notes about our first day in Texas:
- Everyone held Milo today, and she was pretty good with all of the new faces.
- Because of all the stimulation, she was pretty sleepy today. Luckily, no one minded holding her while she slept, so that helped Milo get the rest she needed.
- In the evening, Milo was very awake and playful. She played with Momers (grandma) for a while before bed.

Milo slept very well last night. It seems like she spent most of the day yesterday sleeping, so I wasn’t entirely expecting her to sleep well. Though I suspect that I was a pretty heavy sleeper last night as well, so that may account for my perception that she slept well.
Big milestone today: Milo began rubbing her hands together and looking at them. I noticed this as she sat on the sofa - she clumsily put her hands together and fixed her eyes right there. It was AMAZING!
Another good moment: Milo laughed as Dad held her tonight. We were visiting him for dinner tonight, and he picked her up to play with her. Sitting on his knee, she gave a little chuckle as Chase talked to her a bit.
Another couple of tidbits: Mom successfully gave Milo a bottle tonight before passing Milo off to Chase. Hopefully we’ll be able to give her a bottle without outside assistance soon. Also, we finally found a pacifier that Milo will suck on. Discovered this today while Mom held her.
All together, the past two days were pretty great. The whole family came together to meet our girl, and it has been pretty special so far.
