traveling with baby
steve, asher and i are traveling to florida in a month. it will be our first plane trip with baby, as well as having to deal with planning ashers food. we'll be staying with steve's folks in their condo, so we'll have a kitchen to prepare food, but i'm trying to think of what would be easiest. should we re-try commercial baby food? or should we have my mom-in-law go buy some veggies and fruit and i can take a few hours when we first arrive to prepare some food for asher?
for a bed, we're ordering this for asher. has anyone used it before? it looks so cool and i think we'll get a lot of use out of it for camping and beach trips, but will it be nice for a week of naps and night sleeping? i kept thinking about it last night and i couldn't sleep. how silly! there's a baby rental place near their condo, so we can always rent a crib, or all sleep together in the king bed if the tent doesn't work out. for those of you who have traveled with little ones, what did you do?
and if you have any general suggestions for traveling with a young one, let me know. i'm excited for the vacation, but i'm feeling a bit apprehensive about the trek with babe in tow. i want to make sure we have what we need but not pack to the hilt with unnecessary items.
thanks in advance.

I would try having Asher take a few naps in the tent before you leave so he gets used to it.
If you are not comfortable with store bought foods, I would pack a small cooler (perhaps a soft one with ice packs and a few things of baby food you've prepared) then just make some while you are there since you have a kitchen.
I would say that the more you can keep things normal the better the vacation will be for him.
Food is the hardest part about traveling with a baby. Mine would not eat most jarred food either. Roni did like the Gerber fruits, and that and oatmeal was all she ate when I didn't have access to my homemade stuff. Hope you can find an easy solution!
