I imagine this cross-country traveler to be one active and sassy girl. :) |

Trip list
If you were to travel across the country, what would you bring? Toothpaste? Underwear? Socks? While visiting hubby at work the other day I spotted this list posted on one of the student worker's walls:

Items I can't live without
I am a clutter-aphobe and hate having tons of stuff lying about.
With Baby Norris's arrival, hubby and I really struggled to figure out which items to purchase. Besides the basics (crib, car seat, stroller, etc...) we didn't know what else to get.
Although we're still figuring all this stuff out (and the amount of baby stuff that we own will surely increase as time goes on), we have found two items particularly helpful for navigating these early days of parenthood.
I love the carrier because it allows me to take Baby Norris on long walks. (Hooray for freedom and exercise!) Plus, I love the blanket because it helps Baby to sleep better at night. (In case you didn't know, I'm a big fan of sleep.)

Whipping it out...
This week Hubby and I put on our brave-pants and took Baby Norris out to.... the mall! This particular adventure took longer than our typical in-town trips, so we packed an extra big diaper bag and ventured out. While out, we had to complete two large tasks: diapering and feeding.
Overall, the trip was a success.
Who knew that a simple trip to the mall could make me so happy and proud?
Our first challenge: Diapering a crying baby in public
Phew! All baby waste was contained, managed, and removed. |
Our second challenge: Feeding a baby sans bottle
Luckily, there was a special room to help us out with task. |
Inside we had privacy and a comfy chair. I really couldn't have asked for more. |
