Caitlyn's first international flight

Caitlyn took her first long haul international flight as we embarked on our journey back to the states to introduce her to friends and family who haven't seen her yet.   She is 6 mo. old and being born in Singapore, many loved ones are anxious to meet her. Unfortunaetley, she wasn't a very good travelor.   She was actually one of those babies that you say "boy, I feel sorry for that mom", or "sure am glad I am not her!".   What's worse is the stares you get from fellow passengers as she lets out yet another cry when all are trying to sleep.   To top it all off, she wouldn't go to anyone but me, so when I had to use the restroom, passing her off to Steve or a flight attendant she would let out an ear piercing screech that woke all the passengers on the plane!   Now to to shed a little light on the situation, from her perspective, she was teething!   She decided it would be a good time to pop some teeth out, and learn to crawl at the same time.    So, being immobile for such a long period and having pain, made worse by the cabin pressure, who can blame her?? Here is a picture of her, in Ethan's seat as this was the only way she'd sleep more than 15 mins., after she woke from a 3 hour nap.   Isn't she cute!
