The One with the Well Traveled Fox

Friday afternoon marked Fox's 16th flight. He'll complete his 17th and 18th in a little bit when we fly to Denver for the annual Evans family reunion. Then after that no more flights in sight! I must say, I'm quite relieved. It's getting increasingly difficult to fly with Fox's increasing mobility. I thought I'd do a round up of Fox's air travels thus far! Three destinations took two flights to get to, there and back, so that's 12 flights right there.

3rd flight: March 16th 2011. LA to Salt Lake City.

Tips for traveling with a baby:

- Have him/her drink a bottle or suck on a toy or pacifier for take off and landing. Helps with ear pressure.

- The magazines in the seatback pockets are free. Let your baby go to town with them.

- Babies require a LOT of stuff when traveling. Carseat. Stroller. Pack'n'Play. Food. Clothes. Bibs. Bottles. Toys. Etc. Pack the essentials in a large diaper bag (make sure you have an extra set of clothes for blowouts!), fill the cracks with toys, and check the rest.

- Make sure you bring your baby's shot records or SS card to validate his/her age.

- It helps that Fox loves being doted on and can light up the room with his good looks and charm :)

That's all I can think of for now. Happy travels!
