This weekend, Greg and I got brave. Or stupid. I'll let you know in about a week if Ellis comes down with a virus or respiratory infection.
We decided to take Ellis on her very first weekend away from home and headed to Cincinnati for more fun than this little lady knew how to handle. It was a weekend of firsts for Ellis: first trip to Cincinnati Children's Museum, first time staying in a hotel, first time eating in a big person restaurant (twice!), first time going to Graeter's, first time in a real swimming pool, first time going to a mall, first time in a toy store, and first time visiting our awesome friends Carrie and Adam at their new house. Whew! I'm worn out all over again just thinking about it. We all had a blast and Ellis pretty much spent the whole trip pointing and squealing with delight at absolutely everything...the big window wall in the hotel, every display in the museum, the giant dinosaur bones, every flower, every toy, every salt shaker, every blinking light, every escalator. Everyone we passed in the mall got a big-hearted "HI!" from Ellis, and our friends' staircase had to be climbed about 30 times. While this trip was super fun for everyone, it was not at all restful. But luckily we had an extra day to recover and get Ellis back to her normal schedule.
This fun little video will give you a good feel of our time at the museum. Ellis loves watching herself in it. Enjoy!

| Ellis got to go in the pool as long as Greg held her belly mostly out of the water. She had a blast anyway. |
