A Weekend Away With My (little) Boy
George and I flew to LA last weekend to celebrate Brennan's first birthday, and we had such a great time!
It was my first time flying solo with either of my kids. I was a bit nervous, but both flights went fairly well.
On the way down he was content to play peek-a-boo, study his toys, and have a few snacks. He fell asleep about 30 minutes into our flight, but only slept for 20 minutes (grrr!)
And on the way back, while it ended in a 2 hour-plus nap, it began with a hot, shirtless, tired, (but in true George form), smiley baby. He was like the drunk guy at the party; the night starts off and everyone's having fun- laughing, telling jokes, and having a great time, but at some point this guy becomes belligerent (unbeknownst to him) and while he believes he's still the life of the party, everyone's actually trying to ignore him.
Yep, he was that guy for the first 10 minutes of the flight, before passing out the rest of the trip- shirtless and all ;)
Our weekend was nice and relaxing, sprinkled with a fun trip to the beach, Brennan's birthday party (I'm pretty sure George thought everyone was there for him!), and some kiddie pool time. He loved the cats, sand, food, and people, but hated sleep...
It was so much fun getting the boys together and watching them interact. Every morning they would greet each other with huge smiles, then speed crawl to meet; happily pulling hair and poking eyes. They were true buds and it was so fun to watch. Even at Brennan's party, in the midst of chaos, I would see them look at each other from across the room and smile.
It was seriously cute! A new generation of BFF's
Annie, thank you so much for having me and your sleepless Godson for the weekend :) We had so much fun playing and spending time with you guys.
And a happiest of First Birthday's, Brennan! You're the sweetest and we love you.
