Meeting Great-Great Grandma

At 2 months old, I took Miss C to meet her great-great grandma. That's right - double "greats" on this grandma. GGG lives about 1.5 hours away. So when you are nursing every 3 hours, 1.5 is about as far away as you can travel. We jumped in the car immediately after I fed Miss C.

What I failed to take into account is that Miss C's happiest time is right after she eats. She plays for about 1-1.5 hours and then takes a nap. So Miss C's play time was during our long drive. Of course, that didn't go over well. Miss C's play time was Miss C's scream time. Then when we arrived, it was Miss C's nap time - not a good time to meet someone new.

We only have a couple of pictures from this trip where it doesn't look like Miss C is crying, but I can tell you - she definitely cried the whole time.

We took another trip to see GGG when Miss C was 4 months old. My planning was much better that time.
