First Flight

We took Fiona on her first plane flight last week. She was AWESOME! She had a blast trolling around the airports (Indy's new terminal is superb! Security was a breeze as we got to go through the special family/handicap lane), watching people, and flirting with the other passengers and flight attendants. We couldn't have had an easier time. She had no trouble with her ears. The first time we landed she got a little freaked out by the g-forces, but by the time we landed to come home, she slept through the entire landing! I'm sure the next time won't be as easy as she'll be more mobile and verbal, but I'm glad this first one was as easy as it was. Here are a few pictures from the Newark airport and from on the plane.
Who needs toys when there are napkins to play with?

She crawled under the seats in the waiting area and found these napkins of ours that had fallen off the seats. She had a blast ripping them up and throwing them up in the air. Surprisingly they didn't go in her mouth!

She spent most of the flights on my lap. This particular flight was WARM as denoted by our rosy cheeks!

Daddy and Fiona playing with her phone. Thank goodness we didn't have to worry about that one being a portable electronic that needed to be turned off for take offs and landings!

I loved all of your posts about visitng your parents. Fiona seems like she is such an easy-going little thing. Gabby used to be that way. Then she turned 9 months old...and it all went away. :( Enjoy it while it lasts! We'll hope that her easy-going nature is really just her personality!
