Our little Babykins is Australmerican - half Australian, half American. After 7 months of living in the U.S., we have taken her on her first trip to Australia. On Friday we packed up our gear (all 3 of us packing into just 2 carry-ons and 2 personal items, thanks very much) and boarded Hawaiian Airlines for a 10 hour flight.
Here I have to admit...Babykins was by far the best baby on the plane! She had a minor melt down toward the end of the flight, but after 10 straight hours stuffed into small seats and breathing recycled air, I was about ready to melt down, as well (although I managed not to cry).
Since arriving, she's met many of Hubbykins friends, along with new aunts, uncles, cousins, and her great-grandma. She's been having a lovely time introducing herself to a new set of adoring subjects. Who knew it could be so wonderful to have a set of, as Auntie MO would call them, minions on both sides of the globe.
This taste of travel has given Babykins a new inkling of her ability to slowly dominate the world, one cute smile at a time. With the U.S. and Australia thoroughly conquered, she's starting to eye up small European countries. Watch your back, Kate Middleton - Babykins has discovered it's nice to be Queen :)
As long as she continues to smile at her royal subjects, Babykins will be a hit. Even if she doesn't smile, we will love her.
