There is a baby in our crib!

She's not our baby.
But it was nice to see our crib in use.
This cute baby is the 10 month old daughter of my niece who along with another niece came to visit this week.
She is such an easy going baby as the flash probably was a little startling but fortunately A did not complain. I was pretty excited about seeing what a baby looked like in our crib and didn't think about the flash.
The next couple were taken with my phone right before we left for the Zoo.
It was warm and although the parking lot was packed when we arrived around 2 the zoo was certainly not too crowded. Of course most of the animals were fairly lethargic at this hour but the Zoo is always entertaining.
One of the parrots outside the reptile house.
The new silverback gorilla who according to the exhibit sign was sitting in his favorite spot ... by the waterfall.
There was only 1 polar bear out when we were there.
A (being held by her Aunt K) seemed to like the petting zoo the best. Specifically one of the goats.
That is one friendly goat too.
Baby A and her Aunt K in our living room. This picture was taken the morning we were heading out to Jungle Jim's which is a unique mega grocery store on the north side of Cincinnati. Both of my nieces like to cook, have worked/ currently work in a grocery store and had heard about this store so they wanted to see it. Although we did not see them, the History Channel was there the day we went to Jungle Jim's. They were filming for a segment that will air October 29th on Modern Marvels. Besides being huge (285,000 sq ft floorspace which is 6 1/2 acres!) and it is loaded with quirk. For example, below are some pictures of the entrance to their "award winning" to their bathrooms.
Between the Men's and Women's "Rumpke" door entrances is an "exact copy of Henry VIII's 16th century privy reconstructed from historical photos, feel free to snap your photos sitting on the most private seat of Henry VIII's."
A & K in the "Sherwood Forest" section which is a part of the huge international zone. A is looking up at Robin Hood's stash in the ceiling (see below).
And here are some sweet pictures of John and A. The funny thing is how much A looks like John's sister when she was a baby.
Blue eyed cuties.
