Max finally got his wish - I started feeding him solid foods. If I was able to post the video of it, you would see just how much he liked it. Is anyone surprised?
Newport on the Levee is the hot spot downtown. We crossed the famous Purple People Bridge. Chels had Max giggling the whole time in the stroller. Madden slept in the Baby Bjorn. I loved to hold him because he actually snuggles with me (and my back doesn't ache afterward!) On the bridge, I felt a huge drop of something and I thought I was going to look down and see bird poo, but Madden just peed out his diaper and wasn't wet anywhere else. He is tricky like that.
Cincinnati is known for a few things - one of them is Skyline Chili. Chels and I enjoyed a nice chili-filled burrito covered in cheese. The boys didn't appreciate it at all and we paid for it!
During our whole stay, I watched little Madden, who is such a good baby. He was still sleeping all the time and I kept telling Chels to be prepared for the day when he just decides to "wake-up." Max did it at 2 weeks since then only takes these 20 minute power naps. Finally, after 6 weeks, Lil Red can say..."I wake up!" He looks just like Bryan but is amazingly still cute!
This is another one of those treats in Cincinnati - Whitecastle hamburgers. I am not a burger fan so Bryan had to work hard to convince me to try them, especially after the girl next to me on the plane told me that they are called "Sliders" (because they slide right in and slide right out!) I ate two of them, and they weren't too bad. They are cooked on a grill covered in onions. You can by 10 of them in a value pack. They cost $0.55 a piece!
Max and I both attended our first Major League Baseball game, the Cincinnati Reds versus the Washington Nationals. Max loves Bryan's mother-in-law because she introduced him to cotton candy. Ken Griffey Jr. is the one to draw the crowd, although he hasn't done much for them. It was a great game and they did sweep the series with the Nationals. That night was Military night, sponsored by the Army so the first 25,000 fans got camoflauged KGJ jerseys. We missed that boat but it was still neat to see the Reds in camo and see a colonel throw the first pitch.
We didn't buy these outfits together, both of them were actually given to us at different times. (I actually took Max's on our trip to take back because Brig thought it was kind of sissy - but since Madden had one too, we had to use it for pictures.) Just wanted Daddy to see that Max told me what he thought of it as well. It is times like these that I wish Brig had his turn! There are handsome though...
Max loved the fireworks, once he got use to them. Madden slept through em, big shock!
A real picture of how I pictured Kentucky. I already miss the the beauty of it.
Chasing after the Ice Cream Man just one more time...
I realized all dads are alike - They try to trick the poor little ballies when mom is the only one they want. This was in between halftime at Bryan's soccer game.
