Baby's first flight

I am writing this in the air, it is Evalynn's first flight! We got to the airport checked in and went through security very quickly, I guess that's what you get for flying out at 7:10 am. We got to our gate about 10 minutes before boarding, got the carseat gate checked and waited to board the plane. We decided it would be easiest ton wait until after everyone had boarded so we wouldn't have to climb over people. The man checking our tickets told us there were plenty of seats and we could just take the carseat onboard with us. We got on the plane and I let the flight attendant know it was evie's first flight, that I knew we should have her suck on a pacifier or bottle during takeoff to help with the ears popping, and if there was anything else we should do. She told us the same thing and that her carseat needed to go next to a window. She then called to the back of the plane to see if there was an empty row in the back for all of us to sit in. The gentleman in the first row offered us the entire front row of the plane, so we started to get settled in, after thanking him of course. The flight attendant from the back came up and kindly informed us that FAA regulations prohibit infant carriers in the front row, so we prepared to go to the back. Two women in row four gave up their seats so we didn't have to climb all the way to the back. We thanked them and got buckled in. Take off was great, we put the pacifier in her mouth and she was completely fine. Fell asleep quickly and has been sleeping since. After the beverage and peanuts were cleaned up, the first flight attendant came over with this card for Evie's scrapbook. She also brought over some wings to put in her scrapbook.




I'm finishing this post back at home. Our flight home was also great, she just slept through the whole thing. We loved our trip to Utah and I will make a post all about that trip later.
