A successful trip

Too busy for transitions, today you get bullets!

* The trip was great. Awesome weather (high 70s and sunny), great wedding, fun wine tour, well-behaved child. No crying on the plane, a congenial attitude 99% of the time we were there. They love love loved him on the plane and even gave him a little certificate in honor of his first flight and a little pair of pilot wings. I heart Southwest.

* Jack is now crawling on all fours for a few feet at a time. Then he gives up and resorts to his preferred method of travel -- army-crawl -- because it's faster.

* Jack is also pulling up on things. Tonight, he pulled himself up on the couch for the first time. He looked so proud of himself -- it was adorable.

* The Cardinals are up 2-1 in the World Series. We have tickets for tomorrow. It is supposed to be a cold rain. The term "massive storm" was bandied about by the weatherman. Cold rainy baseball -- I live for this!

* Jack's eczema is receding nicely. The patches are lightening up nicely. Milk, it doesn't do a body good.
