Trip to Australia...only 16 Hours

So you ask what a 16 hour trip...in an airplane...feels like. Just really long!! It does help that you leave Dallas at 10PM but it doesn't help that we sat on the tarmac for an hour before we left. The trip was good, Riley did great but it is a bit depressing when you track the flight and have over 14 hours left until you get to your destination.

Only 14.5 hours to go...
Halfway there - just south of Hawaii - just under 8 hours to go...

Just under 3 hours...we are so close!!! Riley slept comfortably for most of the trip and spent the rest of the time either playing in his bassinet or sitting in the seat between usWe finally arrive...we don't look that bad...do we??

10 Months

Our sweet little boy is 10 months old and what an adventure he has had this month! We made it to Australia without any complications and Riley is an excellent traveller. Good thing too when you start your journey with a 16 hour flight! Our travels will be another post hopefully soon to come.

This is my favorite picture! Taking his month picture is getting quite difficult as he is really beginning to be on the move these days. He is not doing a full crawl, but he is getting very close and will somehow get around the room to whatever he is wanting. His crawl is more of a backwards scoot than a forward motion! Anyway, he is a big boy and changing ever so quickly. I don't have any current stats except for his weight from just a few days before we left for Australia. Unfortunately, we all ended up with Strep Throat just days before our flight out...nothing like adding a little stress to the planning.
