Here is how she spent most of her time at the game, strapped to me in the Ergo. And yes that is a beer in my hand :) You can't go to a Brewer's game and not have a Miller Lite :)
This nice girl behind us took our picture. Our first family outing to Miller Park.
So truth, how did she do? GREAT! We fed her in the car before we entered the stadium and I was prepared with 2 additional bottles if need be. She was on our laps for the pre-game and the 1st inning. By the end of the 1st she was a little overwhelmed so we strapped her in the Ergo and Peanut and I took a walk around Miller Park for 2 innings.
We returned to our seats in the middle of the 4th inning and that is where we stayed. We kept her strapped in the Ergo and she did better than expected given this was a) her first baseball game and b) her first time being in the Ergo for more than 15 minutes. She was totally enamored with this guy behind us and just stared and smiled at him.
She started to get sleepy and hungry so we made up her bottle and fed her while wearing her. Challenging but it worked. She drank about half of her bottle and then fell asleep. We had talked about leaving after the 7th if she didn't fall asleep but she did. She woke up a little later and finished her bottle and then was down for the count. A guy in front of us said we were truly blessed with the best baby and he couldn't get over how good she was.
We did wind up leaving in the 9th inning just before all the good stuff happened but overall it was a great experience. Peanut was a rockstar for sure and she made some new friends :) Will she go to the next game with us...we shall see. Peanut far surpassed any expectations I had and I even got to watch a little baseball.

la la la LOVE the ERGO!!!! Here's to many more happy, healthy games!!!
That is fantastic! Good for you guys for braving it! So many people would miss out on things like that over fear of how a baby would react. My response....have those fears when you have a toddler, not a baby, haha! BTW, have I told you how cute she is?! LOL...I know, I tell you on every post...but darn she is cute! And you 3 are a mighty cute family too.
