| Uncle Greg! |
Ben was a great little airplane passenger this weekend when we went to visit my family in El Paso. He spent most of both flights fast asleep in the baby backpack and when he did wake up, he was pretty easy to please with a bottle. Both Clay and I were on edge for most of the flights just in case he had a major meltdown, but everything turned out just fine. Hurray for our little traveler!
We had a lovely visit with my parents, and Ben got to meet his Uncle Greg for the first time. Ben is
so lucky to have so many great uncles and aunts!
A dust storm kept us from running around town much on Saturday, and then on Sunday we ended up just taking it easy because we were so tired from Benji's extended troubles the night before. Saturday night he woke us up at 1:00 a.m. and at 2:00 a.m. wanting to eat (later we discovered the tip of the bottle was a little clogged with formula which is why he wasn't getting enough milk to keep him satisfied and asleep).

Then he woke up again at 3:00 a.m. and when I went to go get him, he had achieved a new baby milestone.... he was crying face down in a puddle of his own drool. Our little boy has officially learned to turn over! The only problem is, he didn't seem to be able to figure out how to turn back over and really hates being tummy down for very long. I'm absurdly proud of him and also a bit worried where this new skill may show itself next!

Anyway, we had a great time in El Paso and we're so happy Ben is up for air travel!
