First Plane Trip
It's getting closer to Lucian's first airplane ride. I really hope that it goes well. I don't want him to be afraid of airplanes or flying. And since it will be only the two of us; I'd like to keep my sanity too. After all, traveling makes the day longer. We have to head for the airport at around 4 am for our morning flight to Indy with a connection :-/. Everyone who I've talked to gave me good stories about flying with babies his age, so it in theory should be no problem. Any advice?

Hey, just read your post about standing up. Ben was just like that - skipped right to wanting to stand. I used to put his playpen across from the TV when Fraggle Rock came on. He'd hold onto the rim and pull himself up [he was closer to 6-7 mos.] and do kneebends to the music! Then he'd walk on tiptoes around the edge - step, together, step - until he went all around in a circle. Great exercise! Check out online comments about the hazards of walkers. New designs might prevent some of the earlier models' faults. In any case, guiding him by hands and letting him try to bear his own weight and balance, you'll be on hand to be sure he's safe. Ben just skipped crawling, though, so be prepared! Have a safe trip...sorry, no advice except take something musical for a sound distraction. Love, Linda
