well, look what i decided to do

that's right. after 14 months b has decided to be a big boy and hold his own bottle. good thing, now that he's just about done with them. i'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that i loved holding him and giving him his bottle all this time. i swear, it's the only time he sits still so i didn't mind holding the bottle. but just the other day as he turned 14 months (yikes!) he picked it up and started drinking. now what am i going to have to do to get him to sit with me for a few minutes? oh well.

wish us luck today. i am flying with the boys and my parents to chicago for my cousins wedding. i'm not too sure how the flight will go with my two little jokers. carson i think will be fine. i got him some new books and stickers and he can watch movies and be just fine. it's my other little guy i'm stressing out over. let me tell you, traveling to the airport is way different now than it was back when i was a kid. especially when you are travelling with a kid who has had open heart surgery. i have to have a note from our doctor that he needs all of his medicine and that one has to stay with me because it has to stay cold. i have to tell them ahead of time that he has had open heart surgery and will set off the metal detectors because he has 5 metal ties in his chest that they used to close up the breast bone they cracked open. no hate to the airport workers, but i'm sure i will get stopped with my blond hair blue eyed children for searching yet 10 other sketchy looking people will walk right on by. that's all i say about it now, since it hasn't happened yet. we'll see how it goes in a few hours. please pray for a safe happy travels for not just us but all the other passengers who will have to put up with us!
