1st Cubs game

Cole went to his first regular season Cubs game last night when they played the Diamondbacks. I think he was more interested in all the lights, colors and sounds than the actual game, but I suppose that's to be expected when your only 6 months old. He also seemed to enjoy muching on his ticket. He did not like it when the Diamondbacks scored and burst into tears when they did, but I think tha twas mostly because of all the cheering and loud music from those Dbacks fans. But overall, I think he had a fun time hanging out with John, Uncle Steven and me.

If you build it, he will come...

John is officially done with his baseball stadium tour. He wasn't quite able to finish it last year before Cole was born, ending with only Shea Stadium left. Unfortunately, they tore down Shea Stadium, but John went to New York this weekend to see Citi Field, the new home of the Mets. Since he was already in NY, he also went to see the new Yankee Stadium and from what I understand, it was quite impressive. It's nice for me that he is finally done and won't be galavanting across the country anymore to visit these stadiums...that is until they build another new ballpark somewhere. And finally, we will be able to take a vacation that doesn't revolve around going to see a baseball game. In the last three years, I personally have been to games in DC, San Francisco, Anaheim and San Diego. Now I just pray that John won't want to take Cole on his own stadium tour when he gets older!

And to think that there are people that style their hair like this on purpose....

6 months already!

I can't believe that Cole is 6 months old today! Everyone always said how quickly babies grow up and it is so true. Now that Cole has discovered the fun crunchy sound of paper, he wasn't overly cooperative with his sign.

It's almost here!

7th inning stretch time!

Tomorrow is the official start to the Cubs season, which John and Cole are very excited about. Last weekend we went to our last spring training game of the season with our friend Shane and his girlfriend. Cole spent more time smiling and flirting with the teenage girls sitting behind us than watching the game. He is definitely a little ladies man!
