we have been busy packing the car up for our first trip down to NJ with the babe.  hopefully we can make it down there with no more than 2 stops (1 stop would be ideal).  also, i am crossing my fingers that we don’t get stuck in any traffic.  sitting in traffic with a screaming baby is so NOT fun.  we have a bottle with 3 oz to take the edge of if there are no rest stops in sight.  i plan to start the trip in the passenger seat and then perhaps move to the backseat if Noah gets fussy.  by leaving in the morning we hope to catch Noah on his best behavior.  wish us luck and happy thanksgiving!
