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.

3 weeks

I can't believe that 3 weeks ago at this time I was on an airplane on my way home with my baby girl. Where or where did the time go? Oh yeah, enjoying every second with my little girl.

She is doing amazingly well. We had a rough couple of hours yesterday but I think it boiled down to gas and her teething and quite possibly her refusal to take a good afternoon nap.

She is a very strong willed little one and if she doesn't want to nap she will let you know. I think the issue is she sleeps so long at night and then takes a good morning nap that all she needs is these little 30-45 minute cat naps and she doesn't want to take those in her crib. Maybe there is just too much going on and she is afraid to miss out, who knows.

Yesterday she also didn't want me to be out of her line of sight. While I find it kind of sweet it did make it a little hard to go to the bathroom. Thank goodness for the bumbo.

Her ear infections seems to be gone and we are done with medication. Today is the first full day of no medication since May 18th. Woohoo! At least she liked this last stuff. She was even licking it off the spoon.

This weekend we are going to try her in the Ergo baby carrier again. She was way to little while we were in Ethiopia and she hated it. 3 weeks ago her legs wouldn't even go far enough apart to fit in the Ergo at all. She is bigger now and has a lot more strength so we are hoping it will work. It will come in handy if she is having one of those clingy days to be able to carry her around but still have my hands free to do other things.

We will take lots more cute pics this weekend and get those up next week.
