Last week we took Baby B on a trip to Palm Springs California, his first international trip and his first time boarding an airplane. At just 3 months old, we were both curious and apprehensive about how he would handle this monumental flight.
Our flight departed at 8:30AM so we were up early and at the airport by 6:00AM. We did the usual airport dance and cleared security with plenty of time to spare. Needless to say, it was a totally different experience with a baby.
Thankfully, we were allowed to bring our stroller and car seat through security and checked it at the gate just before boarding the aircraft. We’ve never had so much stuff to bring on a flight!
So how did the little man do, you ask?
Fantastic! He slept for most of the flight, waking up about 30 minutes before landing (the flight from Vancouver to Palm Springs was 2.5 hours). We thought the pressure from the descent into Palm Springs would hurt his ears, but he didn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, as the other babies on the plane screamed in discomfort, Baby B actually giggled and smiled as we approached the runway.
Let’s hope this trend continues – fingers crossed!

We recently took Baby B on his first road trip to one of our favourite destinations – Whistler, British Columbia.
At only 6 weeks old, we were unsure how he would respond to the 2-hour road trip and the winter conditions. I’d like to say that he was stoked about the trip and loved the breath-taking views of snow-capped mountains, but the honest answer is that he couldn’t care less about where he was. That said, he was on his best behaviour for the three days and didn’t seem bothered by the change of scenery.
I went snowboarding on Blackcomb Mountain with a group of friends from Ontario, while Nicole hung out in the alpine village with Baby B and some friends from Vancouver. It was the first getaway since he was born, so we were thankful to finally get back outdoors in the mountains, spending time with good friends.

We’ll be heading back to Whistler next weekend to celebrate the holiday season in the mountains, so hopefully we’ll get some fresh snow and a repeat experience from Baby B!
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
