Taste of Cincinnati & More Visits to the Zoo

Grandma Betsy had to go home on Memorial Day, but don't worry...you'll see her in a few weeks because we're driving to Buffalo in July!!! That night, we took you to the Taste of Cincinnati downtown. You got to try lots of different foods, including a YUMMY soft pretzel stick, falafel and Ocean Spray juice! You were SO good, even though is was SOOOO hot outside.

Later that week on Friday, we went to the Zoo.
I forgot to bring the stroller which was a giant disaster because you wanted to walk EVERYWHERE! You're so quick that I had to rent a stroller - thank goodness! You did great in it! We saw all sorts of animals like a giraffe, flamingos, monkeys and you even touched 2 snakes!!!!!

On Saturday, our new king-size bed was delivered. YOU LOVE IT!!! So much more space for you to jump on!

That night, we took you to Skidaddles to play because we went to the movies with Uncle Tim & Aunt Mandy. For the past couple of days, you have been acting so strangely towards me, but when I put you down to go to Skidaddles, you didn't want me to leave (which made me feel sooooo good, but sad because I did have to leave you). Not sure what's going on with you, but you definitely aren't really diggin' me these days. You prefer daddy over me, which is fine (I guess...)...it makes me sad sometimes, though. When we picked you up, you were having such a great time! It made me feel better about leaving you there. They said that you were definitely trying to communicate. This isn't news to us - you are quite the jibber jabber!

Sunday was a mommy day! Like I said earlier, you had been acting a little strange towards/with me. I thought maybe if I went out for a little bit by myself, when I came home you'd be excited. You were...for a second...but my goodness, do you love your daddy! :)

Hoping you snap out of whatever funk you're in because my feelings get so hurt when you don't want to be with me. OR maybe, I need to just snap out of it and realize that you're a 14 month old kid who loves her mom and dad, but just shows it differently. Aren't I the paranoid mama!!!

I hope you know I love you more than anything! Sleep well, baby!!
