Last Weekend

We had another busy little weekend upstate visiting friends and family!  E's becoming such a great traveler by car.  She'll play with her toys and read her books for a bit, then sleep for a couple hours.  Then we usually stop to eat and stretch our legs, and repeat!  She doesn't hate her car seat anymore, which is a plus, and we've discovered that as long as we bring elements of her sleep environment at home with us, she sleeps pretty decently while we're away.  We always make sure to bring her blankie (a trusty Aden & Anais Issie Blankie) so she has something to snuggle with, her sleeping music (the Fisher Price Rainforest Soother), and a blanket my mom made for her.  Seriously, having these familiar things help us make sure her routine is consistent and she really sleeps so much better!

Anways, enough about that...how about some pictures from our trip??

She spotted daddy!

We've gone upstate to see my family once a month since December--that's 4 months in a row!  Crazytown.  My parents have been so happy about it, but all that traveling is exhausting!  We're happy to have a break from all that driving for a little bit now.

What did you do last weekend?  Did it involve 7 hours (8, if you count the standstill traffic we sat in because of an accident in New Jersey) in the car with a toddler?
