Checking in from Texas

As you may have surmised from yesterday's photo of Peeper and Anonymama, we made it to Texas in one piece (well, technically, three pieces) yesterday.

The flight went pretty well, and Peeper handled it like a champ. I had her suck on my finger for take-off and landing, and her little ears seemed to be fine.

She slept in the carseat until, oh, thirty minutes or so into the flight, then started fussing around.

We did one diaper change in the airplane potty (plus one in the airport before we boarded and another as soon as we got on the ground) and did a bit of nursing both in the airport and on the plane, but she wasn't interested in sticking with that very well, maybe five minutes each time.

When we arrived in Houston, LadyKay picked us up, and we stopped at a nearby Sonic, where all four of us ate in the car.

We had to make another stop about thirty minutes from Anonymama and Anonydaddy's house for another poopy diaper and some more nursing.

She did just fine in the car, and has done pretty well here, when there weren't too many distractions and her little tummy wasn't hurting.

She was fairly fussy last night, but seems to be a lot more combobulated today.

(That's really not a word, is it?)

At the moment, Shrike is napping, and Peeper is napping in Anonygrandma's lap, while she and Anonydaddy visit with my uncle (Anonydaddy's older brother).

We're waiting for LadyKay and her kiddos, and BabyBro and HisLovelyWife to arrive (in the next couple of hours), then we'll have our traditional (fake) Christmas Eve dinner of tamales and then open gifts.

Photos to come, I'm sure.
