We made it safely to CT, flying non-stop to JFK through a storm system over Colorado. Niko and Sumo did great and grandpa Lew was a huge help. Delta had televisions in each seat (perhaps feeling the pressure from Jet Blue) and so Niko got to watch football.

I remember a time when Jul and I would travel with a single suitcase. We would share one of those small suitcases that fit in the overhead bin, each bring a carry-on, and Sumo in a duffel. Somehow traveling with a small child has added four more suitcases, a diaper bag, and a small squirmy boy. Luckily we had Sherpa Lew with us or I might have had to make some tough decisions about what to leave behind.

Cousin Molly lent us her “baby lazy boy” chair which Niko seems to enjoy. He also looks good with a purple backdrop.

He is growing but still fits on my legs.

And he is learning to pick up things. 1. Assess, 2. Grab, 3. Shake.
