Japan flight

Callie is such a great little traveler! She really impressed me, once again. Our day started very early with a 9am flight to Detroit. Callie fell asleep as the plane was taxing for take-off and woke up about ten minutes before we started our decent, so that flight was great!

We had about a three hour layover in Detroit so we planned to meet with my Grandma and Aunt on my Mom's side, since they live about 30 min. from the airport. Well, much to my surprise there were a few more people there when I got to the meeting place; two more aunts and three cousins!! It was so good to see everyone and I'm so happy that they all got to spend some time with Callie, especially my Grandma. Callie was a little tired, but had smiles for everyone and was talking up a storm, it was great. She let my Grandma hold her long enough to take some pictures and then she started calling (crying) for me :)

We made it back through security to find out that our flight was 30 minutes late. Once we got on the plane and taxied out to the runnway they discovered a problem and we had to go back to the gate. Everything was fixed and we finally took off, only two hours behind schedule!!

Once again, Callie was great. I have a feeling she is going to be a terrible teenager, because so far she is such a great baby :)

She entertained the flight attendants and her fellow passengers with lots of talking and laughing and even slept for about nine hours once it was bed time. It was great that she slept that long on the plane, because it meant that I got to sleep too, but it was not so great once we got to the apartment and it was already 9pm. Lets just say that the first night was pretty bad. But hopefully she is getting used to the time change. I think one more day and she could be back on schedule. Luckily there is a bed in her room, which is where I slept last night :)
