Connor's First Trip to Arizona

July 17th, 2009 we left bright and early for the airport.  After booking our tickets I read a few articles about the best ways to travel with a baby, taking a red eye was one suggestion so they would be sleeping the whole way and there might be available seats to spread out on, another was having as little stops as possible, we had 2 stops on the way down and 1 on the way home.  Needless to say I was a little worried about his ears and was hoping he wouldn't choose that day to cry all day.  Plus all the stuff that came along with us!!  I needed my own row of seats just to spread out all of his stuff and of coarse security having to take it all out then load it back out what a pain!  Thank goodness we just had stops and we didn't have to switch plans!  Connor was the perfect baby on all of our flights, a few people even said "WOW there was a baby on the plane?"  It was so great to finally be in Arizona and see all my family especially my Grandma, I couldn't wait for her to meet Connor!

Here are some pictures of our trip:)

So cute!!!

Connor is almost three months old and is really starting to get a cute personality he was the perfect age to take on his first vacation.  While we were in Arizona he discovered his fingers and started smiling at everything.  Overall it was an amazing vacation and we had a lot of fun!

When we got home we thought we left the 100 degree weather, but we hit the heat flash and spent the next week at Grandma and Papa's house with the nice AC.  We absolutely loved staying with them but were really happy to be back in the routine of home after 2 weeks.
