Back to Boston

So travelling with a baby does change some things...but not everything. Last Saturday, we were flying back up to Boston and were planning on leaving at 12:00 PM from the Atlanta area. As part of our ever-present quest to get as much free/discounted stuff as possible, Sharon and I almost always try to get bumped off overbooked flights so that we can get the free flights the airlines give as compensation. So this past Saturday we took advantage of one of those opportunities and got bumped off our original flight from Atlanta to Boston. Although the extra two hour wait was a little more difficult with Caleb's nap schedule, it was definitely worth it since we got $400 worth of flight vouchers that we'll use over Christmastime. All in all, it was exciting for me to realize that one of my favorite travel pastimes is still very much a possibility in this new era of parenthood.

Since we got up here to Boston last Saturday, we've been pretty busy catching up with people and staying current with Janz Team work. We've also been excited to have a couple photo shoots with our friend Cari McCormick and you can see some of those pictures below. Caleb's first tooth finally has made it through, but he is still really bothered by the second one that is making its way through. Even though he is teething, he is still a pretty happy baby and is becoming a lot of fun to play with. He is also quite interested in scooting backwards but he hasn't quite figured out how to go forward yet. Although we're excited for him to learn how to crawl, we're still a little nervous about how much extra attention we'll have to pay to him then. I have a feeling that our next blog post will have a video of him crawling, but he has also been showing signs of skipping crawling altogether and starting to walk instead. We'll keep you updated...
