Eleanor and I took our first plane ride alone last weekend. We flew to Mississippi to visit some old friends. It was a great trip, so good to see my friend Julie, Paul and baby Annie Grace. I had never been to Jackson, and was really impressed with how it was laided out. Now, I am not smarter than a 5th grader though.
As we were landing, I was engaged in conversation with a lady sitting next to me who was flying home, Jackson, that is. I asked, "what is the capital of Mississippi." She looked at me crazyly as if I didn't know how to even read. She replied "Jackson, sweetheart, where have you been (please re-read with a Southern accent). There was nothing I could do but laugh at myself.
Eleanor is 6 months old as of October 15th. She has been on two plane rides and 5 states. Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois, Mississippi, and Texas. I will say that she is a lot of fun. She loves to smile and drool, talk, and roll over. She will get up on her back legs and rock, as if ready to start crawling. It's only a matter of time I know. We are starting to baby proof the house now.
On top of taking our first trip solo, she also started eating rice. I will say this rice thing new for us, and so is putting the spoon in her mouth. The first feeding was comical, but everyday it gets better and she is getting use to it, but still loves her bottle.
As you can see from the video, she was very sleepy, it was like Thanksgiving for Eleanor.
