Alexander's First Trip





































































































































































This weekend we decided to take little manny on his first trip. We drove down to Cincinnati and went to the Newport Aquarium and stayed all night in the Hyatt in downtown Cincinnati. He really loved watching all of the fish and even tried getting to the turtles through the glass at one point. He also had his first swim in the pool which did not go as planned. We bought him a boat to float around in and as soon as I blowed it up, it deflated...a hole! We patched it twice and it was still losing air but it worked ok for a bit. Unfortunately, he was not into the pool as much as we'd hoped BUT today his second swim went much better. I wish we had filmed his many trips up and down the elevator because they were having some conference or something and the hotel was filled with women. Everytime we got in the elevator they all oohed and awed over him and he was a little shell shocked. He just kept looking at them like what the heck is your deal! He was so well behaved though the whole time so we certainly couldn't complain. We finished out our trip with the breakfast buffet at the hotel and totally pigged out. We had paid an extra $10 for our room and got 50% off of all the food in the resturants in the hotel and room service. We figured we saved between $80 and $100. Bonus!Then today when we got home we realized he has his first tooth coming in. He's getting too big!
