Ella visits the Newport Aquarium!

She refused to touch this harmless horseshoe crab.

Wow! That fish is BIG!

Oooh, look at those alligators!

Oh, and in case you forgot - Ella is cute. :)

All in all, we decided that the Newport Aquarium is not worth the $43 we paid to get in (that was with a discount). Next time...the Cincinnati Zoo.
Did you ever want to know what would happen if you got in the tub with a diaper on? Well, the diaper swells up really big...imagine that!!

Anna update!


Anna is growing like a weed, getting teeth like she needs to eat some steak, and crawling like she has places to go!

She weighs approximately 20 pounds by Nana's scale! No wonder she is so hard to lug around.

She has 8, yes 8, teeth right now - all in front. In one month, she has gone from just 3 teeth to 8! Needless to say, we are going through several drool bibs a day.

Finally, Anna is army crawling all over the place. She gets where she wants to go and nothing stops her. We have to meticulously vacuum because she will find the one speck of dirt on the floor or the one "Nerd" candy that Ella dropped and eat it.

Speaking of eating - she's doing plenty of that, too. She eats any fruit and almost any vegetable (except of course the green ones) three times a day now - breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

When she isn't busy doing all the things listed above, she likes to talk. She especially likes to say, "Dadadada" and "Babababa" and "EEEEEAAAAA!" Squealing is fun...for her.

If she keeps going at this rate, she'll be walking and talking before she's 10 months!!
Anna's first trip to the Zoo!!

Flowers are pretty - just like Anna.

Ella loved seeing the elephants.

But playing on the slide was MORE fun!

The best part about the zoo is the playground.

The worst part is the sunburn after...
