Mommy planned the flight down to Houston around our naptimes with an hour on each side to spare. Unfortunately, the flight was more than an hour late, so I woke up from my long nap just as we were boarding the plane. Whoops. Good thing we were next to a very nice grandfather who was more than happy to hold me when I got fussy while Mommy dealt with Claire. Mommy gives me an A- for the flight, though I would have gotten an A+++ if the flight had left on time!
We spent lots of time outdoors during the trip because the weather was gorgeous. Taking me outside is one of the quickest ways to distract me if I'm having a fit, and I really liked the fountain in the spa as well as watching my big sister run around like a crazy lady.
That first night was sort of a mess. I have not been away from Mommy in the evenings yet, and I KNEW that she wasn't there. I didn't want the bottle, I didn't want to be held, I just wanted my Mommy! Luckily she came home just as chaos was about the erupt, and the three of us settled in for a good night's sleep.
Always in a great mood when I wake up
All these chairs, yet it's better when we pile together
What are we going to do today?

We decided to head down to the Kemah Boardwalk one day. After lunch, we headed for the rides, which I actually got to go on this time instead of just watching from the side. I did my usual -- yes, sleep. It's sort of hit or miss whether I need to be held or not, but it's pretty consistent that I like to sleep. Also consistent is waking up just as Claire falls asleep for her nap. It keeps things interesting for Mommy. :)
Alternated between sleeping and eating at lunch.
My first merry-go-round ride.
On the tall spinning thing
On the train (see the pattern?)
What'd I miss?

Went to the park one morning before we had visitors -- Nai-Nai, Ye-Ye, and some of Mommy's childhood friends. Da-Jiu also came home which was a huge help for Mommy since Claire loves him so much. And then when Crystal A-Yi, Kirby, and Xiao-Jiu came home? Forget it; she was done with us.
Claire makes me laugh
Um, we're going to ride what?
I'm like an accessory for Mommy
Don't worry, I still got in my tummy time

Got a long nap in when Claire went to play with Charlie and Jacob. I actually spend a lot of time just following around my big sis and her activities; I can't wait until I can do some of those things, too!
I'm the one on the floor
It was good to see Auntie Syndee again
Mommy's gotten good at feeding me in public

We celebrated Mommy's birthday while we were in Houston, too. Then we enjoyed the nice weather 'til Wade and Alex came to visit. They were very good holding me, and I can't wait until I'm big enough to run around with them. Mommy thinks they're so sweet and hopes that I get my manners from them.
Here I am eyeing the cake.
I wonder what I have to do to get me some of that?
Yeah, yeah, I know. I have squishable cheeks.
Do YOU think my head is going to burn?
Me and Wade. So comfy, I fell asleep.
Me and Alex. Us younger brothers gotta stick together.

And then we went home! I got my A+++ on the way home; slept the whole way. Overall, the trip was fun, and I can't wait to go back.
You should check out a lot more pics from the trip and read Claire and Mommy's versions, too!
