VacaY not to far from sight. What to pack.

As a new mom, getting out of the house just for a simple grocery store outting can be hard.  We need diapers, wipes, clothes, toys, nursing covers, extra socks... I can go on forever.....

So imagine who excited I was when my dear, lovley, mother invited me on vacation with her! First thing I thought was yay, I need a break! Then I was like?  Oh, wait, this is going to be interesting.  Traveling with a 7 month old is going to be tough. 

I sat down the other day and made a list of everything I need to take. 

 NOTE:  This list is SERIOUSLY longer then mine....


*Toys- babies need entertainment and sadly, this clown of a mother isn't that entertaining all the time.
*Sippy cup and bottle- I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my son is strickly a boob man. He doesn't like bottles, he doesn't want anyone to mention the word bottle or it's equviliant in spanish, BOTELLA.  So I'm trying to get him to drink from a sippy cup

*Bathing suits- He has two! Boardshorts and a wetsuit type of top to wear.

*Hats- to block the sun

*Sunglasses- I purchased them at Children's Place. They're red and they're cute.  Frankie pulls them off his face.

*Food- He's on solids. Nothing exciting there only that one day he likes something and the next day he doesn't

*Teething supplies- My poor baby has one tooth. ONE and he's 7 months. It's on the bottom and I see signs of another one coming soon. SO to save him and others around him I'm packing his teething drops and tabs. (homepathic)

*Tylenol- Because god forbid he gets sick or a fever or whatever, and I want to have my OWN tylenol that I BOUGHT.

*Bumbo- I know he's not going to sit like a good, boy in here for too long, but at least I can feed him no here if I need to.

*Swaddle blankets- I don't swaddle him anymore, but there are other uses for these.  And  I just love them.

*Clothes- Onesies, socks, pants, long sleeves, shorts, rompers

*Bath stuff* Towles, shampoos, one toy, lotions.

*Diapers- Both regular and little swimmers, theres nothing worse then a baby in a heavy, heavy, HEAVY, dirty diaper at the beach!!! THATS NOT Going to be my BABY!


*LOTIONS* OKay, so as everyone already knows, my baby has eczema, and he uses different types of lotions for different areas of his body.  He uses Triderma, for his cheecks, chest and right elbow and then h). e uses regular Johnson & Johnson's sleepy time lotion for his legs, back  and left arm (I know that sounds crazy, but trust me it's been working on his dry skin

*Strollers, Carriers, Car Seat- Transportation, need I say more.

*Sunblock- It's a must!!!! We're going to the beach.

And the #1 thing that baby needs for this trip IS!!!!


A PASSPORT!!!


Yes, we're going to a place in France where the na.... jk!!
We're going to a place called Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

We're super excited because it's my Frankie's first vacation!!
As a kid, we didn't do much traveling, because my parents were working very hard to provide for us,  yes, we went places, but you weren't world travelers.  My parents sure made up for it in our teenage years though. 

ANYWAY, we're excited.  I don't think I missed anything on the list, if I did, please let me know.  PLEASE!  I don't want to be relaxing on the beach and then my mom is going to say, "Did you pack the butt cream?"
