இன்டியாலேந்து வணக்கம்! (same exact phrase, in Tamil, K's mother-tongue. In English, these words would read "India-lendhu vanakkam").
We arrived late Wednesday night after a long journey. Abhi did really well on the trip and handled it with a lot more patience than we anticipated. The bassinet was very small but he was able to sleep in it, one time a 4 hour stretch even on the second flight. The bassinet says max of 22lbs so this will be the only time he can use it. It took him some time to settle down but he was able to sleep on the first leg since it was time to sleep. Then we let him run around the airport in France. They had a play area and we enjoyed some cafe and pain au chocolate - so good!! You just can't get it tasting like that outside of France! The second flight is where he had his long stretch of sleep and he was supper tired. We were also very tired and got some sleep. It was 9+ hours though so he did get a little antsy sometimes but we were able to keep him busy and settle him back into sleep. Air France also has a seat belt attachment for babies sitting in your lap during take off and landing so we really liked that. All flights should have that. Seems a lot safer than him just sitting there. Here are some pix on the flight with appa and playing in the airport in France.
So, we arrived but were not able to sleep until about 330am and since we have all been suffered major jet lag. Last night, we barely got sleep. Abhi would only sleep for about 2 hour stretches then thought it was time to play. So, today we made him stay awake and actually woke him from naps to get him back on track. He went to bed about his regular time tonight at home, we just have to wait to see if he sleeps through the night.
Since we have been battling jet lag...not much happening yet. Just visiting with family. Keshav's family are enjoying Abhi and he is busy running around the place having fun. More soon...
