baby's first baseball game

disclaimer: this is my blog therefor I get to brag about my baby, if this sort of thing nauseates you maybe don't read this post.

We were nervous.  Blaine just out right didn't want to take him.  But after many discussions, input from the fam and a last minute "should we just stay home" we packed up our boy (and his million accessories) and headed to what would be his first Rockies game.

There were thoughts that he would just cry the whole time, that there wouldn't be room for all his gear, that we would be miserable, but Kash was awesome!  He ate his dinner, wouldn't stop smiling at everyone that would make eye contact with him and then fell asleep in his car seat right at bedtime.  People all around us went out of their way to say, "wow he's such a good baby" and "dang he's the happiest baby I've ever seen"!  Yep, he's a pretty dang good boy and we are really lucky.  I still can't believe how good he was!

So, first baseball game down no sweat.  Okay so there was some sweat.  We got there a little late and had to park 7 + blocks away.  Meaning Blaine had to carry our giant baby, in his car seat, for 7 + blocks.  I tried to give him a turn but I didn't even last a block...that kid is freakin heavy!  Good job dad!

Overall it was a fun family outing and I'm glad we took the risk of taking Kash.  But I think to Blaine's dismay Kash might have inherited the people watching disease from me and didn't really catch much of the game :)

blaine's new friend "badger"

Last night we went to the Rockies game--thanks to Joy and Jason for giving Blaine the tickets for his bday!! We finally arrived at our seats (after a few wrong turns while resulting in a few flights of unnecessary stairs), whipped out the treats we snuck in and we were ready for the ball game. As it turns out so was the guy next to us who came to the game solo. He was loudly talking to himself in hopes that someone would talk back. Well as soon as he started throwing out facts about the game Blaine was all ears, he will talk sports with anyone! This resulted in eight innings of me just people watching, checking my phone to see if anyone texted me and the occasional high-five from Blaine (I'm assuming this was only because his new friend wasn't official BFF status yet...yes yet)!

At one point the dude finally takes a bathroom break, in which he reassures Blaine he'll be right back (whew! we were all worried) and Blaine informs me that this guy's name is BADGER! What the freak? I'm thinking it must be a joke and somewhat pray that this so called "Badger" has trouble finding his seats like we originally did. Don't worry he didn't and Blaine and Badge pick up right where they left off.

To top everything off at the end of the game "Badger" asks for Blaine's number so that they can maybe go to a game together!!!! I lost it...I seriously had to pretend I was looking for something in my purse because I couldn't stop laughing. So Blaine does the polite thing and gets his number confirming that his name is Badger, well it only gets better HIS NAME IS PATRICK!!!!!!!!!! Wow...I seriously couldn't handle the ridiculousness of the night anymore!

High fives were eventually given, numbers where exchanged and Blaine finally made a friend in Denver.

I guess I shouldn't laugh I'm still searching for my Denver BFF.

Blaine: 1
Eggs: 0

Don't let this picture fool you, this was the only time Blaine and I really interacted!
