Going to Visit Aunt Dawnie

Today Bella embarked on her first cross country trip and first airplane ride. She was wonderful on the plane after she got her Starbucks fix. (not really, but she really enjoyed chewing on and drooling all over Mommy Starbucks cup) She actually slept for 2 1/2 hours of the 4 hour flight from Atlanta to Salt Lake City (draped accross Mommy and Daddy's laps)which allowed Mommy to watch the entire in flight movie. Good job Bella!
Once in Salt Lake, Aunt Dawnie met us at the airport and the four of us stayed the night in downtown Salt Lake City. It was Aunt Dawnie's first time meeting Bella, and Bella knew right away that Aunt Dawnie was one of her people. She hugged her right away.
That night we went out for Thai food with Aunt Dawnie's best friend, Cherish, and we had a great time. Bella had a small issue at dinner. She exploded poo all over herself, and, for the first time ever, Mommy was caught without a change of clothes for Bella. Doh! So Mommy wrapped her up in her nursing cover, and tried to play it off that she was in a traditional Thai dress while Daddy ran to the hotel to get another outfit. She looked like the "Dalai Bella". And, I swear this happened: We were laughing and Cherish said, "I bet you are like the Dalai Bella," and Bella winked at her. It was like something out of one of those baby animation commercials. I have a witness.
It was a great night, and it was wonderful to see Aunt Dawnie again.
