Trip to Ohio!

We took our first airplane ride this past weekend and had a great time in Ohio! Diego did great on both flights. He even got his own seat and was able to ride in his car seat on both flights! The flight attendants said "Oh he is sooo cute" and fellow passengers commented on what a good baby he was!

On Friday night we had dinner at El Mariachi with Diego's Grandpa Rick, Grandma Becky and Aunt Erin. Of course, everywhere we went in Hamilton, Diego was the star!

We had Saturday lunch at Great Aunt Connie's house and got to hang with Great Uncles Rob, John & Bob, Great Aunts Connie, Debbie & Susan, Cousins Michelle, David, Tracy, Scott, Stephanie, Alex, Emily, Kristi, and friends Amber & Caitlin. We headed back to Grandpa Rick's house for pizza dinner with Grandpa Rick & Grandma Becky, Aunt Erin, Great Uncle Rob & Great Aunt Becky, Cousins Abby & Reece, Great Grandmother Lois and friend Leila.

Diego loved meeting his family and was a great boy the entire weekend. We were back in Dallas by Sunday morning @ 8:45 am to spend the rest of the day napping and cuddling together. This is the last week of my maternity leave, so we are getting in as many naps and lazy days together before I go back to work and Diego starts school on Monday March 16th.

Diego will be attending the infant program at Children's Courtyard Monday through Friday from about 9 am to 6 pm. He has two teachers, Ms Carrie and Ms Robina and 6 other children in his class (from 4 - 18 months). He has a daily lesson plan, does art work every Monday, learns sign language at 5 months and learns English and Spanish words too! He gets to spend time outside everyday (weather permitting), has daily tummy time, and will have lots of fun toys to play with and learn about. Although I am ready to return to work and I know that going to school with be great for him, I am still dreading those first couple days of drop offs. I won't be wearing any mascara to work during the first week :(

We head to El Paso, Texas (about an hour plane ride from Dallas) next weekend to visit X's family and friends. We can't wait to visit cousins, grandparents and friends there too! Wish us luck on our next trip and on our school start (I think I will need it more than Diego).

Check back next week for pictures from our next trip!
