3m
What's that spell?
Our chuch group helped us wish Camden a "happy 3m" by eating cupcakes with 3 M&M's on each. What fun! Camden has many fans in this group, but a few (who also adore her) didn't get in any of the cupcake shots!
Then we took Camden's picture with her bears. She keeps growing. Looking at her 2 month compared to now - amazing!

Changes
She's also begun to prefer her hands as much as her nippie (pacifier).

Cincinnati, Day Three
Apparantly this is a great place to come at 1AM when you want breakfast and to hang out with other locals. Oh well....

Cincinnati, Day Two
Cincinnati has one of the best rated zoos in the midwest and, after our visit today, I would have to agree. The day didn't start off very well, though, when I dropped our camera just as we entered. A piece fell down in a grate and another part of the camera was dented. Here was the test photo I took to make sure it worked, despite the damage. Needless to say, Kevin wasn't real happy...
Finally Camden was begging to be left alone for a bit and we headed back to the hotel for a brief rest. We made a quick lunch stop at Camp Washington Chili for some famous Cincinnati Chili. Once again, we were not disappointed in this local favorite!
Our day concluded with our anniversary dinner at The Precinct Steakhouse. This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had and probably the best steak. Our waiter was fantastic, several managers stopped to admire Camden and wish us a happy anniversary, and "the captain" made us a special complimentary dessert of bananas foster, complete with flaming table-side service.
The restaurant is housed in the former Police Patrol House Number 6 and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks. It was a fabulous anniversary celebration.
Another great day in this city with my wonderful husband and beautiful baby!

Cincinnati, Day One
We walked off some of the food and did some shopping at a large outdoor mall after dinner, then topped off the evening with a bowl of local specialty (and Oprah favorite), Graeter's ice cream. We enjoyed the original black raspberry chip & coconut chip flavors. Camden was too tired from the day and decided to nap instead.
Finally, we headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool. Camden thought that was too much like a bath and protested just a little...
With lots of driving, walking, and getting in and out of the stroller, we didn't last long. Camden seemed to really appreciate being wrapped in her blanket back in the room. It had been a good, but long day!
