One week in Ohio

Well I have no pics to update but thought I would let yall know how Susanna and I are doing on our vacation to Ohio. We are having a great time with Aunt Jane and Grandma!! So far we have not been too busy... our biggest adventures have been to the park, lunch in Fort Loramie with Grandma and Grandpa Hoying, and shopping. I keep telling myself I need to take more pictures but honestly we have not done too much to photograph!! Next week we will have my cousins daughters (Morgan and Jada) to help entertain us and Susanna!! Hopefully we will make a trip to the pool, the farm, and Lake Loramie.

The weather (except for today that is) has been SOOO BEAUTIFUL!! No humidity, perfect temperatures and sunny skies. Jane and I have enjoyed a few morning and evening walks with Susanna in her stroller. Susanna just loves being outside and has had a great time exploring Janes yard. Her favorites are the Versailles tiger statue (which she ROARS at), the Doggy statue (which she pets, feeds, and gives kisses), the toddler play set we are borrowing from Mindy and Eric with a swing and slide (which she has figured out how to do all by herself), and the tether ball court. As you can tell she keeps herself and us busy when we are outside. And when you say the word "OUTSIDE" you better be ready to go that second because if she hears you she will run to the door and keep saying outside, outside, outside until you finally take her. She just loves it!!

Her other favorite thing to do around Janes house is point to everything and say "Uhnasee, Uhnasee", translated to "I wanna see". She is super curious and interested in everything. She wants to touch, kiss, or play with it all!! She really likes the wind chime in the kitchen, which I found out was a gift to Jane from my mom! Although I love Susanna's inquisitiveness, the constant "I wanna see" DRIVES ME CRAZY. I told Jane I needed to document how ANNOYING this phrase is to me so I can look back someday and remember how cute it really was!

My plan was to keep Susanna on her normal schedule but OF COURSE she is already all out of whack. She has even taken 2 morning naps, which is totally out of her normal routine. Everyday seems to be a different nap time and schedule but she is adjusting and managing well. I just hope that when we get home we can get her back on track.
