jude's big trip

Baby jude did really well on his first trip that required staying in a hotel room. we attended the wedding of our adorable cousin Evie in Des Moines. it worked out better than anticipated because our accomodations were more of a suite with a sleeping area and a separate living room. This allowed baby jude a place to sleep and talk and play with his pacifier at night, away from mommy and daddy.

It is a challenge for us figuring out what to pack for travel with a baby. we also have the added feeding gear that we did not previously need. we ended up using the hotel pack and play, and bringing his activity floor gym.

Jude wore white to the wedding... yes it might be a faux paux for adults, but we figured the little guy could get away with it. and we're sure he was the only one there with knit feet that matched his suit perfectly.

The wedding also gave Jude a chance to meet his many cousins and his great aunt Verna for the first time. They all live in other states and had traveled to Iowa for the event as well.

So what did you pack on trips with your infants? We'd love ideas and tips. thanks!
