Elliott's First Overnight Trip

 My goodness, where does the time go?  I can't believe it is already mid-November and I haven't posted anything this month for Elliott's adoring fans.  He is getting bigger, happier, and more talkative by the day, and is now so much fun to be around.  Don't get me wrong - I have loved every minute spent with my son, but in the beginning he didn't do much besides eat and sleep.  Now he has a personality that is upbeat and easygoing, with glimpses of a great sense of humor.

Here are some highlights from the month of November:

We made our first overnight road trip down to San Diego to visit Great Gram and the rest of my Dad's side of the family.  We were a bit nervous as to how Elliott would handle long stretches of time in the car since our 1st road trip to San Louis Obispo threw off his sleeping schedule for weeks.  We broke up the trip on the way down by stopping for dinner with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Reed.  Sadly we didn't get any pictures of this part of our trip, but imagine us sitting around their dining room table, eating In-n-Out, and Grandma Claire holding Elliott while he smiles at her adoringly.

When we finally made it to Great Gram's a bit after midnight she was up waiting for us, and after her and Elliott got caught up on everything that happened since she visited us in October before we hit the sack.  I'm happy to say that Elliott stuck to his sleeping/napping schedule through the whole weekend (waking once in the night, and several naps throughout the day).  During the times that he was awake he had a blast hanging out with Great Gram.
