Jacob's First Braves Game

Today we took Jacob to his first game at Turner Field. We were all excited because it was the Braves Vs. the Red Sox and Jacob's first game. Being the brave parents that we are, we took him to the 1:35pm game-- right during nap time! Anyone with a two year old knows not to break this cardinal rule. We arrived around noon and found our seats. It was 97 degrees at the field today, but we sat in the Golden Moon Casino Pavilion where it was shady and breezy. Earlier in the week we sat by the field for the Yankees game and I nearly melted! Jacob was so excited to see the field up-close. We watched the ground crew prep the field for the game... Jacob thought these were the baseball players and couldn't figure out where their bats were! :) When the game started he went wild. He kept copying Jason, yelling out whatever Jason yelled. I'm pretty sure he was the only two year old yelling "Come on, Tommy!" to the pitcher and "Base Hit, B-Mac". It was cute! Jason took this fabulous picture of me... you can kind of see the beginnings of my baby belly.

Jason gets really into his baseball!
Around the fifth inning, the fun was ending though! He was so tired and got a little cranky. So, me being the mom of the year, decided to take him to the concession area to find some ice cream. When we got up there, he broke free from me and took off running. So, here I was five months pregnant, belly flopping, chasing after him with bystanders amused. Finally an usher stopeed him so that I could catch up. I was not a happy momma! Needless to say, we left before the first pitch was thrown in the sixth inning!
