We made it safely home and Callie did ALMOST as good on the plane today as she did on Saturday. She was a little more fussy, but nothing a little breastfeeding or cuddling couldn't handle. Whew! I said in my post last night that she was an amazing baby, and here's the list of things we did to demonstrate why:

SATURDAY
*Woke up at 5:30am to fly out of MSP to Chicago-Midway
*Took a long train ride/walk to Laura's apartment (stroller ride)
*Went to lunch (slept through the meal)
*Hung out in the Baby Bjorn with either me, Chris or Laura for 3+ hours while sightseeing (the Bean/Millenium park, mini-golf, LOTS of walking)
*Played in the hotel for a bit
*Went to dinner (stroller ride)
*Went for dessert (stroller ride)

SUNDAY
*Slept til 5:30am before waking up to eat!!!
*Went to brunch (stroller)
*Walked to graduation (in the stroller)
*Posed for lots of pictures
*Slept through graduation in the lobby with Daddy
*Walked to dinner (more stroller time)
*Slept through dinner
*Walked back to hotel (stroller)
*Went swimming!
*So tired...fell asleep early

MONDAY
*Slept til 3:30am, ate, went right back down until 7am
*Played with Mommy and Daddy on the big, comfy hotel bed
*Walked to breakfast (and more stroller time)
*Walked to Laura's apartment (stroller)
*Walked to the zoo (stroller!)
*Zoo! (a little stroller, a few arms)
*Walked back to Laura's apartment (STROLLER)
*More playtime (lots of rolling over!)
*Walking/Train rides to airport (S..T..R..O..L..L..E..R)
*Airplane ride home

Whew!

Thankfully she loved to take naps during a lot of her stroller times. Other times she was content to just look around at the world. Not ONCE did she have a meltdown. And we were able to time nursing her in between the various activities, so even that was easy! She was the most perfect baby!

And finally, a video of Callie getting in the the pool for her first swim (in a swimming suit that I wore as a baby, as did my two sisters)!
