Today was Jake's first time watching baseball at Wrigley Field! Daddy, Papa, me, and Jake headed down to watch the Cubs take on the Braves. I was so surprised at how well Jake did with all the loud noises and cheering that was going on around us (mainly by the Braves fans, sadly). He sat really well with Papa for the first half and then sat with me and Daddy the second half. He was alert and curious about everyone! Jake fell in love with a lady behind us and he talked and squealed at her for, at least, two innings. Luckily, the lady had a granddaughter who was 16 months, so she understood.
By the 7th inning stretch, Jake had just finished a bottle and was half way asleep, so when the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" started, he was a little startled and cried the entire song! That was the part of the game I was looking forward to the most with him and instead I was trying to sway him and calm him down. He finally settled down. We clapped and cheered on the Cubs, but it ended poorly. We left in the 8th inning.
I posted pictures and videos from our day! It was one of many memories we'll have together with Jake!
Looks like it was so fun!
ReplyDelete8th inning is pretty impressive!
