Quick Trip

E and I traveled to Reno at the end of September. If we missed you...well, we missed everyone so don't feel left out. 1) We were in Reno for less than 48 hours. Half of that time we both had the stomach flu! 2) I left my cell phone in LV. 3) Lastly, the only reason for our trip was to celebrate my mom's birthday.

The weekend looked like this:

An easy plane ride with E. A plus!
Time in Sacramento for some Old Town/Downtown fun.

Then we got sick...

...and flew back.

So enjoy one good day worth of pictures!










This day was worth the trip. We had fun celebrating with my mom and enjoyed our time together. We also appreciated having a mom/Qma to care for us when we weren't feeling well. I guess it's a good reminder that once you're a mom, you're always a mom-always the one taking care of everyone. And even once you are a mom...you want your own mom to care for you!

Also, Elliott turned 10 months!

Elliott at 10 months you...

 say "mama" because it is your only word (and I'm okay with that!)
have 7 teeth now
finally want to be held again (much less stiff arming your parents). you cuddle, hug, and always ask to be picked up
looooooove cars/trucks/tractors. basically anything with wheels. you can play with them for hours!
crawl (fast!), cruise furniture, crawl underneath anything and everything you can possibly squeeze under, stand on your own, walk with us holding your hands
refuse to let us feed you in any way - you must use your own fork/fingers/pouch...mr. independent
 throw tantrums when we take something away...brat!
copy anything we do, especially daddy
do something new each and every day. it's a joy to watch you grow
