Here's one of my favorite pictures shown at the funeral. It's Grandpa (standing) and his siblings (seated). You can already identify a number of recognizable Bill Norris characteristics from even that young age.
The trip was also an excellent excuse for Elliot and his favorite cousin to hang out some more. His cousin is now big enough that he can hold Elliot in his lap!
He can also hold Elliot in his lap while administering a dental exam, should the need arise.
Here they are sharing each other's sorrows, shortly after a sudden loud noise. (There are often sudden loud noises when lots of Norrises get together.)
Elliot also took advantage of the lovely SoCal weather to go for his first swim!
In another first, Elliot ate his first solid food! We'd been offering little tastes of fruit and whatnot for the last few weeks, and he'd always declined. But when we offered him a homemade peanut butter chocolate square (made by his grandpa Norris), he DEVOURED it!
[Truly his dad's own son]
He liked it so much that when we got home we made him some more peanut butter squares, and guess what? Devoured again!
[Peanut butter squares have been transformed into peanut butter drool]
