Headed for NYC

September was a fun and busy month. Shortly after returning from Hilton Head, we had another trip planned for New York City. It would be the first time the twins will fly so while we were excited to board a plane again, we were also a little nervous about how Carter and Ainsley will do.

Carter is thrilled to be flying. Will is nervous.

 

They are usually so good in restaurants that I felt that they would do ok. We packed a lot lighter for this trip and made sure to have a bottle each for takeoff so that their ears won't pop and cause them pain.

Some other things we learned about flying with babies:
- Will and I could not sit next to each other with both babies on our laps. This is due to there only being one extra mask for each seating aisle in the case the plane goes down. So Will sat on one side with Carter and my father while Ainsley sat on my lap with my mom on the other side.
- We could bring breast milk in our carry on onto the flight. They just took the milk aside to check it and dab our hands to check.
- Babies = priority seating - winning.

Ainsley drank all the milk and promptly went to sleep for pretty much the entire flight.

 

 

NYC is one of the few places in the United States along with LA where babies do not have to sit in a car seat in a taxi. Here we are with the babies strapped to us in their ergos while the taxi driver whizzed through traffic.

 

Let's not think about the crazy taxi ride.

 

Whee! This is fun!
