Well, we made it through our trip to Chicago. DD was pretty good on both flights - slept most of the time and only got a little fussy at the end during the descent. The hotel had a portable crib for us which she didn't mind sleeping in. I had to be at a work conference most of the time we were there so DH was in charge of DD (which is fine, he is a SAHD). However, it was so hot & humid that he didn't feel comfortable having DD outside much so they didn't really do much.
Thursday we did go to the Art Institute after my conference finished up which was awesome. DD loved looking at the paintings and statues. She started screaming when we showed her a Buddhist demon statue in the Japanese section though (and I didn't blame her - it was scary!).
The one bad thing is that we all got colds somehow on the trip, DD's first ever cold. Ah well. We are glad to be home!
