CHRISTMAS 2006
Elan took his first long trip which also happened to be his first trip to his grandparents' house. He did fine in the car on the way there which mainly meant that he slept most of the time. That had mommy a little worried and for good reason--when nighttime came, he didn't quite want to go to sleep. That was a trend that continued throughout the trip. Even though we kept his routine the same and had his go-to-sleep CD of music, he still had trouble staying asleep in a new place. He woke up for an hour every night at either 10, 11, or 12. He also woke up a few other times, but usually went back to sleep after 10 minutes or so. Needless to say, mommy and daddy were very tired!
We went to visit some friends, the Kalanys. The first photo is with Samantha, their oldest daughter. (I taught her swim lessons when she was 3 and 4 years old. Yes I am getting OLD!). We also spent time with Noni and Lito (grandparents) and Tia (Katie) who gave him baths. His Aunt Erika also enjoyed time with Elan.
He was a perfect baby for the Christmas Eve service--slept through most of it.
Elan's ride home was a little better, and as soon as he got home, he went right back to sleeping!
Also, he started drinking some water from a sippy cup while at the grandparents house. What a big boy he is becoming!
