Road Trip!!

Mackey was so good on the trip up to Wichita. It's usually a 6 hour drive (if you include stops), and on the way up, we made it in about 8 hours, thanks to stopping for two feedings and a couple of diaper changes. Otherwise, Mackey slept or made happy cooing noises from the back seat as she played with her Whoozit toy or her Monkie Blankie (shown here).

On the way home, we only stopped once, a little over halfway through the trip. LONG naps made the drive go by quickly. She did have one breakdown as we got onto 635 from I35, but it seemed that after about three minutes of full-on wailing, she decided that crying felt even worse than whatever discomfort was causing the crying, so she just chilled out into a tired daze until we got home. But, BOY, was she happy to get a new diaper and nurse!!

Brava, my little girl--you will be a traveler yet!
