Jackson's first flight!

Jackson was a STAR on his first airplane flight to Illinois. I think that is because he was so excited to come to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's and to play! (I mean look at that face... can't you see the excitement in those eyes! :))
We flied Southwest and they were really really good. We liked them a lot. When we first got on the plane one of the Steward guys asked if he was a first time flyer and what his name was. Then about midway through he came up to us and asked us how Jackson was doing. We were impressed he remembered the name. Then at the end of the flight he said on the intercom, "I'd like to give a shoutout to all of our first time flighers (he named a few) and little Jackson!" Everyone gave him a round of applause. It was cute. Then at the end they gave him some southwest wings.
He actually did really well on the flight too. I was really nervous he would cry the whole time, but he was a trooper and didn't fuss too much. Hopefully it will be just as good on the way home.
Here is how we traveled with Jackson. He traveled in style. :)

I am glad he was good for you on the plave- I was worrying about it. And holy flip he looks so cute with his smiley mouth and eyes! I know what you mean about that airline being good. We got free huge chocolate chip cookies last time because the stewardess thought Sadie was so cute- she got pampered. Cute boy. Hope you guys are having fun!

That is awesome! I am glad he did good for you. Kate hates her carseat so I doubt she would fly well.

Yay little Jackson! So glad he did well. We were afraid it would be harder to fly with Easton now that he's older and, well, can't hold still for more the 2.5 seconds. He fell asleep in Todd's arms... a miracle!
