8 weeks!

Mr.Dean has had a big week! He had his first two flights and did fabulously!
I flew the way down to ca alone with him. It was extremely stressful but he did great and everyone was so nice! I especially loved the woman and her college aged daughter next to me. They purposely distracted me and were genuinely fun to talk to. I wish we were friends! Haha. I purposely chose an early am flight so dean would sleep, and he did! I'm so grateful!
The flight home, KR was with me so it went equally as smooth. He held him most the flight so I could relax and watch tv to keep my mind off flying (especially since there was a plane crash in San Fran earlier that day).

*Dean is smiling a TON! And its not just smiling randomly; it's in response to us smiling at him! I love it so much and can't get enough!
*he loved meeting aunts, grandmas, cousins and friends while we were in town and loved that there was always someone to hold him. He slept a lot more than he usually does because normally he doesn't stay asleep when you put him down. Well, since he wasn't being put down at all, he slept!!
*he also has gotten good (knock on wood) at going to sleep at bed time and after his middle of the night/early morning feeding. I let him wiggle and talk for a bit (important to the recipe) and then as soon as I give him the pacifier, he pretty much quiets down and falls asleep. It's heavenly. Again, knock on wood.

*he had his first beach days and he did great!! He slept both times for a good amount of time, let me feed him right there and just chilled like the sweet baby he is. Im grateful because I need my beach time!! Haha. It was so nice, I wish we could go all summer.
