Funny, we are bringing Liv to OBX in July! That will be her first "real" vacation. I can tell you that we have flown with her and stayed away for 4 days. In addition to what you listed, try to bring as much familiar stuff from home as you can. Loveys, sound machine, blankey, etc. Have him start sleeping in his pack n play (if thats what he will be sleeping in on the trip) so its not a total shock when he gets there. At 4 months, Liv did great on our trip. She adjusted well, but we kept it as normal as we could. Also, dont forget swim diapers!

Oh also, we ordered a bunch of stuff from diapers.com (her diapers, etc) to be delivered when we got there, so we didnt have to travel with that stuff.

We're also planning on taking her on her first vacation in September to Hatteras Island. She won't recall much, though, because she will likely be around 7 weeks!

Us too! Our LO's are the same age, we're going on a family vaca with my family at the end of June, right when he turns 4 months and then a vaca to visit DH's family in July. A little nervous, but excited.

Aw, I used to go to Emerald Isle for a week every summer growing up! Haven't been in about 10+ years now, though So jealous of you gals!

No tips from me... we're planning on taking our 8-week old (will be about 8 weeks) car camping if all goes well in September. LOL.

Yay for vacation! When we go on vacation I overpack and don't use so much of the stuff, but I'm still glad I have it just in case. I would just think about your daily routine and maybe write things down throughout the day that you use so you don't forget little things like the bottle brush and dishwasher soap if your LO is bottle fed.

We just returned from a short vacay with the baby. She was 8 months old at the time. What I was glad that I did was pack a lot of toys- old and new. And I truly brought everything that she is used to having for her nighttime routine: sound machine, blanket, sheets, toy. As long as you guys try to adhere to his normal schedule you should be a-ok

We're probably going to take our LO to the beach this summer too, my parents own a house about 2.5 hours drive from us and my mom spends a lot of her summer there. I haven't even thought about what to bring yet though, I'll be watching this thread!
