Ben had his first airplane trip and first visit to Grandma Gerry and Grandpa Larry's house last month. He has proven himself yet again as the best baby ever by traveling better than I could have dreamed. On the flight out, he slept 3.75 of the 4.5 hour flight, and flirted with the flight attendants and anyone he could make eye contact with the rest of the time. He even behaved when we drove up to Utah the morning after we arrived so that we could spend a couple of days with Ralph's sister Heather and her family and see his Great Grandma B. for the first time. We had a great time, and our only regret is that we didn't get to see more of our friends and family while we were out west. While we didn't get to see everyone, we made a notable effort.
Benjamin continued to prove worthy of his title (Best Baby Ever) on our day trip to Cedar Breaks, our return flight home, and then when we had to drive up to VA unexpectedly 2 days later to be with Ralph's family after Tinka and our nephew Tasman were hit by a car while crossing the street. They are both doing well, Tasman with just some nasty scrapes and bruises, but Tinka will have a long recovery as she teaches her shoulders and arms how to work again after hours of reconstructive surgery. Needless to say, we had quite the eventful October, but none of it seemed to phase Benjamin, who continues to grow at an alarming rate and learns new things every day.
