Opening Day!

Today is a day to celebrate! It's Teagan's first Opening Day! To celebrate, Amy got her decked out in the gear of my favorite major league team, and we watched a few innings together. OK, it was more like a few pitches. But, hey, WE WATCHED BASEBALL TOGETHER< GOSHDARNIT!!! Over time, there will be opportunity to discuss the infield fly rule (Amy's favorite rule in all of baseball), fair-vs-foul, suicide squeeze plays, the benefits of the sacrifice, etc. But today, it was just fun to see my kid decked out in baseball paraphernalia.

Update: Updated Teagan's photo gallery. Same URL and password as before. E-mail me if you need them.

FYI: The little Indians outfit was the "It's a boy" coming home outfit. Glad she was a girl otherwise the kid would have had HUGE clothes coming home from the hospital.

If Daddy has any say in the matter, yes, she will :)

Teagan is adorable and Daddy looks cute too. Teagan needs to take after her Aunt Julie and she will love baseball.
This was really good bonding for Daddy and Teagan.

Hmm.... We'll have to send Stoner over to corrupt her, Tom. ;-)

Soooo cute. I didn't know you could get caps that tiny.

The Reds are fine (NL team). Now, if you were talking some other AL team....

You might not be able to tell from the picture, but the cap is actually too small for her. It was kinda crammed down on her head. Told you she's a bobble-head :)

Awesome outfit and pic! We are already planning on at least a Buckeye outfit for our Baby Boo, but we may just have to get a tribe one too!

What fun!!!

You have many years of family bonding around baseball ahead of you - ain't that cool?!

And just think of all the creative ways she'll learn to express herself!

Hey Renee:
If you don't mind hand-me-downs we can hook you up with OSU gear. Teagan has several outfits/onsies etc.

How are you feeling?

Would love hand me downs! Baby Boo will be born right in the middle of FOOTBALL SEASON! Yea! Hoping that he/she will never have to know a season where we don't beat that Other Team up North!

Feeling pretty good, except that the asthma has gotten worse during pregnancy. Was put on 4-5 new meds this week when I had problems. Didn't know there was that much I could take! Second trimester starts next week :-)
