Peanut's first baseball game

Well the day arrived. It was time for Peanut's first Brewer's game. As you can see below she was super excited and dressed for the game.

See, she can't wait to get there :)

And here she is just before the game started taking everything in.

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.

The screaming phase...

Well it happened, sweet little Peanut has learned how to scream and scream loudly and VERY high pitched. No she isn't screaming because she is upset or screaming while crying; she is screaming to scream and if you look at her she smiles.

Sometimes it is hard to not laugh at her while she is doing and other times I cringe and hurry out of the coffee shop, restaurant, etc. I have been warned that this phase of little girls last FOREVER.

She spent 50 minutes this morning in her crib giggling, squealing and then screaming instead of napping. She finally fell asleep. What did I do? I took a shower, started some laundry and now I am blogging.

We are gearing up for the weekend as we are taking Peanut to her first Brewers game. I am prepared for it to be challenging and we have agreed that if things go downhill we will leave early. The game starts at 6:05 so schedule wise it works to feed her either before we leave here or in the car once we get there and then she will get her bottle between 7:30-8pm and hopefully fall asleep in the Ergo. I am not worried about the first 2 hours or so that we are there it is after that that may get challenging and boring for Peanut. We will take pictures for sure :)

Well apparently nap time is over as I hear Peanut and guess what she is SCREAMING oh and then laughing :)
