Our little man is on the move! Teddy took his first real steps on Father's Day and now he can walk all the way across the lawn. The timing was perfect because he was able to walk around at his first birthday party and play with his friends.

Then I went and ruined those plans by insisting that we bring the baby with us. It will be Teddy’s first time on an airplane and I am a little nervous. I’m a very novice traveler, and have only been on a plane a handful…
