Flying Baby


To the untrained eye, there seems nothing special about the above picture. Until one notices that the cute sleeping baby is in an airplane.

While I don't think this counts as a developmental milestone, I think it counts as Ella's introduction to the jet set.

How did it go, you ask?

Splendidly.

Nary a squawk to be heard. (Okay, there were a couple, but it didn't last for more than a second or two).

Somehow Ella figured out what she needed to do in this occasion... namely, charm the flight attendants with her 800-watt smile, nurse a bit at takeoff and landing, and then sack out on mom and dad for the duration of the (4, count them, 4!) flights.

Bravo, I say. Bravo.
