Car Ride, Football Game, and a Doctor Visit

Little Dude went on his first road trip this weekend. We took him to see the University of Texas Longhorns play their last football home game of the season. Plus we figured we should introduce him to his future alma mater. Brain wash much? He did *awesome* on the car ride! He slept for the most part, but also talked and played with his toys some. Here he is just hanging out.
We had seats in the new upper North End Zone. We love sitting in this area. You have a great view of the field and of the godzillatron jumbo TV (which Little Dude enjoyed staring at).


How this is possible is beyond me, but Little Dude actually slept some during the game. The loud noises didn't seem to bother him. Not the canons going off, the crowd yelling, the music playing, nothing. The only thing he got irritated with was when his bottle was not the correct temperature. Thankfully a sweet lady at the concession stand made that all better.

Since Little Dude was with us, they counted me as having a "mobility impairment" since I was wearing him. We got to take the elevator up (which saved us from having to walk up 10 stories worth of ramps). Unbeknownst to us, there are some really cool artwork/sculptures by the elevator! Here is our little family in front of one of the pieces we saw.

Some of our good friends offered to let us stay at their home so we didn't have to drive all the way back home after the game. I've never traveled with an infant before and now I know why. This is only *some* of the stuff we had to take with us. I think there were 3 other brown paper bags in the car. However, it was very nice being able to get some rest and have more time to spend with our friends.



And finally....

Little Dude went to the doctor today. He will be 4 months old on Friday (how that is possible is beyond me, because I swear he was just born yesterday). He is 15lbs 5 oz (65th percentile) and 26 1/4 inches (90th percentile). The doctor said that he is tall, thin and very healthy! Next up....baby food!
