Babytravels is the newest member of the DTM crew (and the most important member) and it occurred to me the other day that no one knows anything about her. She was born in October of last year in Salt Lake City.  Traveling is in her blood. And she does it quite well. Here are some quick facts about the cutest dottingthemaper.

Stats: Weighs almost 12 pounds and is five months old. As of last weekend she has been on 17 flights (will be 19 this weekend). Has been to Hawaii, California (three times), Minnesota (twice), North Dakota, Las Vegas, Utah, and Arizona (twice).  Is good-natured and smiles often.

Likes: Blowing raspberries, funny sounds, pink teddy bears, pacifiers, baths, guitars, Grandmas (doesn’t even necessarily need to be her own), and  anything that makes a noise when she shakes it.

Dislikes: long road trips, diaper rashes, shots, being hungry and missing naps.

Traveling with a baby is different. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily hard (although sometimes it can be) it’s just a whole different ball game. Right now since she is so little airplane rides are pretty easy. She will either sleep or look around. I know that once she starts crawling it will get difficult- but for now she is content. We have never had a problem with her ears but we have had a few fussy moments but nothing to make us give up. To parents who are afraid to fly with little babies- I say this is the time to do it! So get out there and explore the world!
