Liam's First Airplane Flight

The family was off to visit Tanya ("Aunt-T") and Micah in Portland, Maine. We had no idea how the flight was going to go, but we ended up having incredibly good luck with people on all flights moving seats in order to let Liam have the center seat. At this time, Liam had almost no experience with TV monitors and so the two in front of us were immensely entertaining before take-off. Melanie fed Liam as we were taking off and moments after, just as his dad does often does after taking off in a plane, he fell asleep. We looked at each other in amazement, high-fiving every few moments because we just couldn't believe our luck. It was of course a 5+ hour flight. Later he got very cranky and dad had to take him to the back of the plane. The plane began experiencing very bad turbulence. Liam stopped crying and began to focus instead on what was going on around him. He slept a bit more and while wasn't nearly as cranky, did this constant switcharoo between parents, where he wanted to be with mom 5 seconds after he wanted to be with dad which was 5 seconds after he wanted to be with mom.
