As I've said before, Lady A is developing quite the personality. She was not thrilled to be in her "big girl seat" at the table, so I kept getting the look.
She's also been much more interested in her toys, and I found her "reading" her book the other day. I can imagine her just like this throughout the years. Too cute!
She is also teething, and she officially has her first tooth at 5 months! Top left, with a top right coming in, too. We're going to have a vampire baby!
For the adventure part, This past weekend we packed up and headed to Cincinnati to take Kathrine to her first Reds game. JP, Ainslee, Nana (my mom), Kathrine, and I went. Everyone did great on the ride there, even though we got to our hotel late and everyone was tired.
On Saturday, we got up and headed to Newport on the Levee to go to the aquarium and enjoy some shopping and good food. Kathrine loved the sharks, and Ainslee seemed pretty interested, also.
Ainslee especially loved putting her feet on the glass of the tanks.
Saturday evening, Nana stayed with Ainslee at the hotel while Jeremiah and I took Kathrine to the game.
I had told her to make sure she had some pants and a long sleeve shirt with her in case it was too cool (JP supervised this activity), and she pulled out her pajamas at the ballpark and put them on.
This girl cracks me up! At any rate, we enjoyed a Reds victory and some fireworks after the game.
On Sunday, the plan was to check out of the hotel around noon, eat a nice lunch, then head home. We expected to get home around 6 or so, but this did not go as planned.
Ainslee had a cold for a few days, but she kept getting sicker, so we ended up at the Cincinnati Children's Urgent Care facility. She was very congested, so they did a super suction treatment on her to clear her out. The nurse said she was the first baby not to cry during this procedure (the machine is loud and scares a lot of the kids), and they were amazed at how happy she was despite being so sick. The facility and staff are top notch, and I can't say enough how thankful we are to them, especially as we were so far from home with a sick baby.
She's a trooper!
When we got back in the car, Kathrine said she was starting to feel bad. She was fevered and said her head hurt. We stopped to pick up some meds, then altered our plans and stopped at an IHOP for a quick meal before getting on the road. Long story short, Ainslee did ok, but Kathrine ended up getting sick at the table. The folks beside us were incredibly tolerant and understanding, and the staff was great. The manager even gave us 20% off our food and that of the table beside us (we picked up their tab because that was dinner and a show nobody should have to see). The ride home was an adventure, and I have never been so glad to make it home, especially as we were much later than we had planned. Now Mom, JP, and I are all sick, too, so we are all recuperating today and hoping to feel better ASAP. As Di said, this was a good "welcome to motherhood" for me. Here's hoping our next adventure will end better! Hope you all had great weekends!
