My first baseball game!

Yesterday Mommy and Daddy took me to my first baseball game! We went with my Aunt Sheri and my friend Isaac and his parents. It was his first baseball game too! The Durham Bulls were playing the Charlotte something-or-others.
We had good seats on the third base line, right in front of where the pitchers were practicing. I wore my Red Sox hat, even though neither of the teams playing had anything to do with the Red Sox. Apparently I have to be a Red Sox fan if I'm going to be able to keep living at home with Mommy and Daddy. At the beginning of the game some boy sang the national anthem. Everyone was quiet and stood still. I wanted to sing along with the boy though, so I did. I kept saying 'aaaahhhh ohhhhh aaaaaahhhh gooo aaaaa!' really loudly. Since no one else was singing, it was almost like I was singing a solo. Everyone thought it was pretty good because they were smiling and laughing at me!
I sat for most of the game in my Baby Bjorn with Daddy.


Then when I started to get really sleepy (because it was almost my bedtime!), Mommy and Daddy and I went home. Here's a picture that someone took of us standing in front of the baseball stadium.

Watch out - Mommy got a new camera!

Mommy got her new camera, so she took like, 8 million pictures of me. And since I was pretty much sitting in the same place for all of them, wearing the same outfit, they all look pretty much the same. Here's one of them:


Oh wait. Here is another one. I was having "Daddy Tummy Time", which is when I am on my tummy. On Daddy's tummy.


And here's another one. Daddy was trying to play with me, but I was watching TV. Ugly Betty, to be exact. I don't know what the heck was going on, but I could NOT STOP WATCHING.


Well, today we had a playdate at our house. Two babies came over, and they both have blogs too! One was Rosco and one was Jax. We had fun playing on the ground. Both of those babies are a little bit older than me and can do a few more things than me. Like, for example, Rosco can say 'DADADADADADADADADA' which his Mommy LOVES. I meant to take a nap before they came, but I don't know... I guess I was too excited or something, because I didn't, even though Mommy put me in my crib with my special naptime pacifier and my special naptime blankie. So I was pretty tired during the playdate and about halfway through I had just HAD ENOUGH. Luckily, Mommy knew what to do so she took me upstairs to my crib and Daddy rocked me for a few minutes to help me out. I was still asleep when Rosco and Jax left, so I didn't get to say goodbye to them. Rosco was on his way to the Beer Festival, which I went to TWICE when I was Studs (only one of the times most of you didn't know that I existed). I hope he had fun!

Anyhow, here are pictures of Rosco and Jax, so that their Mommies can download them:

Duke Gardens

This weekend it was really nice out so Mommy and Daddy took me to Duke Gardens for a picnic. It was fun! I took a nap for part of it, which you can see here:


Later, Mommy and Daddy took me out and I laid on a blanket with them. We saw a couple of other babies who were also my age! That was fun. There were a lot of other people there having picnics too. Hopefully we'll do it again soon!

First day of school!!

Today was my first day of school! Here's a picture of me in my car seat right before Mommy and I left for school:



When Mommy brought me, I was really excited because there was a lot of new stuff to look at. Mommy fed me and then she put me in a bouncer chair. It was a cool one, not like anything I have at home! The teachers were all smiling at me and saying hi, so I smiled a lot and said 'goo' back. Mommy must have had something in her eye, because she was crying. The teacher gave her a hug before she left.

I took a nap. I played in an Exersaucer, which is another cool toy that I don't have at home. I had a bottle. Then Mommy came at lunch and had her lunch with me. We hung out on the mat and played the tickle game. I was really happy to see Mommy, and I smiled a lot at her and made lots of 'goo' noises and laughed. Then she had to leave and go back to her job. Right before she left, she fed me and then I made a dirty diaper, which of course was a 'blowout'. Mommy was so excited that she got to be there to change me after the blowout. Luckily I had an extra outfit in my cubby.

Then I took another nap, played some more, went outside and swung on a big porch swing with one of the teachers, did some other stuff, and then Mommy came back to get me. My teachers told her that I was really good (I was!) and that I hardly cried at all (I didn't!) and that I was so happy and easygoing and smiled at everyone (I did!). I can't wait to go back tomorrow!

My new favorite noise

If I learn Spanish one day, I'll be really good at rolling my R's in the back of my throat. Mommy can't do it, but I'm a pro. I've been practicing constantly for the last week.

Here are two videos where you can hear me making my new favorite noise. In the first one, Mommy and I are discussing what she did that made me do the very-sad-faced-cry earlier in the day.

Incidentally, I've been exceptionally grouchy for the last two days and Mommy and Daddy don't know why, because usually I'm really good. I'm starting day care on Monday and my teachers are not going to believe it when Mommy tells them that I'm usually a happy baby!

Everything in the mouth

Hands? Meet Feet.

Here's my new trick for this week. I found my feet!
