Last weekend Jason, Ethan and I went to Cincinnati for a long weekend.  We went for my friend, Rachel’s wedding, and decided to make a mini vacation out of it.  We headed to Cincinnati on Thursday.  Ethan went to daycare in the morning while Jason and I packed, then he slept the whole way there.  Thursday evening we went shopping and had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (Jason and Ethan enjoyed checking out the Lego Store!).  Friday we went to Ikea.  Ethan did not have much of a morning nap and was fussy most of the time, but we made it through.  We got him some toys for his birthday!  Friday evening Grammy and Grampy joined us so they could watch Ethan.  Saturday we enjoyed some time swimming in the hotel pool before getting ready for the wedding.  Ethan enjoyed spending Saturday evening with Grammy and Grampy while Jason and I attended the wedding (I was a bridesmaid).  Sunday we packed up and headed home.  Overall Ethan did great.  He did not sleep very well and would not fall asleep on his own.  The first night we put him in the pack n play and he just pressed his face against the mesh and looked at us like “this is fun, what are we going to do next?”  We had to take a walk every night to get him to fall asleep.  Overall it was a great trip and we had lots of fun!

Enjoying some asparagus (and his spoon) at Cheesecake Factory.  He was quite the darling!

Being silly with daddy – up way past his bedtime!

FINALLY napping – in our bed of course!
