I am still working on digesting the fact that it is November, and, even more surprising, the fact that I almost have a one-year-old. Someone once told me the days with children go by slowly but the years go by quickly. I've only witnessed one year, but I already wholeheartedly agree.
We have filled this year with some incredible memories. This last month we had a blast taking Elliott to Washington for his first time and showing him off to everyone at home. He met a lot of friends and family and played with a ton of kiddos. He is a lucky little guy to have so many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. He was a champ on the trip through all the craze including planes, trains, and automobiles (all 3 in 1 day!), sleeping in different beds and rooms (and kitchens and closets) each night, and letting us drag him all over the state to do all the things we wanted. Sometimes he wasn't the easiest visitor or the greatest sleeper, but overall he was the best 11-month-old traveler we could have asked for.
Here's our trip in pictures:
