Take me (or Jared) out to the ballgame!

One of Steve's birthday presents this year (from his favorite wife) was two tickets to see the Rangers vs. Red Sox on August 15th. I asked Jared, my resident sports guru, to help decide which game and he chose the Red Sox and was very excited about it! Being the nice wife and mother that I am, I offered to let Jared go with Steve while Lauren, Lindsey, and I hung out at Laura's. I even bought the boys Rangers shirts , and Jared a hat, for the game. Luckily, it was a good game and the Rangers won! They also had about 8 stolen bases- which the boys thought either tied or beat the record! Jared was telling me all about the pitcher before the game and all of the famous players he was going to see. He even knew that the Rangers would be wearing red since it was a Saturday night game. He cracks me up with all of his "sports knowledge"! We enjoyed visiting with Laura, Micah, and Cole, too! So...a good time was had!

Lindsey had her 4 month check-up and shots, and is doing great! She's in the 82nd-83rd percentile for both height and weight. I gave her some rice cereal for the first time on August 21st, and she's already a pro! She has also been sleeping through the night (9pm-6am), which I am thoroughly enjoying! She'll often go back down after the 6am feeding and sleep until 9 or 10! I've given her formula a few times (but just 2 oz. at a time). She's pretty flexible when it comes to taking a bottle now and then. Thank goodness! She is getting much better at her hand/eye coordination and is putting everything in her mouth. She is fascinated by everything and smiles and laughs a lot! We usually entertain her by just handing her different toys to touch and check out. She still tries to sit up and see what's going on, or she'll roll her way across the floor to get to whatever is out! She has also found her toes! Amazing how much they change in such a short amount of time!!
