The drive down to Maryland via New York was long but actually surprisingly easy. Elizabeth slept literally the entire time the car was moving. And having a grown up in the backseat gave Nicholas someone to keep him occupied. Of course we paid for a long quiet drive when Elizabeth didn't go to bed until 2am and Nicholas was a mess the next day because he was up so late.
We stopped in New York on the way to see Joe's parents and allow Elizabeth to meet Grandma Claire.

And then down to my parents' house, where Elizabeth has been having better days after her cranky fest all last week, but refusing to sleep unless being held or in her carseat. My parents borrowed a swing from a friend and Elizabeth will sleep in that for a short period, but it isn't as soft and round as her swing, so her naps in it are pretty short. And she absolutely will not sleep in the pack n' play for an extended period. Last night I was so desperate for her to sleep in the pack n' play at least a little (I'm scared of setting up bad habits with her sleeping in our arms all night) that I spent an hour sitting on the floor shaking the bottom of the pack n' play to make it "vibrate" to keep her asleep. It mostly worked. But every time I stopped shaking it she woke up and I reached the point where I just needed to sleep.
She has been really interested in all the new people she has met, but still prefers watching her big brother over anyone else.
