This has become my pre-vaction hobby: figuring out how to bring exactly and only what we need as efficiently as possible. So I've created the following guidelines that we are all following. And although Lilly's clothes are smaller, the addition of a just enough diapers and wipes (to get us started during travel once we arrive) fills the rest of the tiny space in her suitcase. I did the first run-through of collecting and packing on the weekend of April 20 and have been slowly adding/subtracting/acquiring since then.
Packing
for five people
for ten weeks
in five countries
in Europe (where you pay to carry-on luggage)
in our carry-ons only (which are smaller sized than US domestic flights size restrictions)
Ouch.

2 outerwear (jacket/vest etc)
7 shirts: 2 long sleeve, some button up, 5 short sleeve
4 bottoms
2 dresses/rompers or 2 or extra bottoms
2 pr wool socks, 5 cotton
2 pair pjs- 1 hot/1cold
2 swimsuits (including rash guard)
Flip flops
Tennis shoes
3rd pair shoes- nicer/dressier boots/sperrys/slides
1 scarf, 1 belt(?)
Day bag/backpack
1 hat
Sunglasses
1 qt ziplock bag, no more than 100mL/3.4 oz per item
