Fun in the Park

Claire and I try to play outside a little bit every day.  She loves going to the parks around town - swinging and watching the big kids in the playground. 

Now that she thinks she can walk, we do a bit of practicing while we're there too.  The playground turf is very spongy and forgiving, so it's a good area to give her some independent standing while I take pictures of her cuteness.

Littlest Terp

This weekend, we took Claire to her first Maryland game.  We were on the road by 7:30am to make it in time for the noon kick-off.

Somehow, we made it to College Park in 3 hours.  I was not driving.

We parked, and made our way over to the Stadium Garage to have a mini tailgate with Megan and Liam.

Rubbing Testudo's nose on the way for good luck

You can't tailgate without a beer in a koozie.  It's a rule.

Last time Megan and I were at a football game together, we were both VERY pregnant.  Now look at these two mini-terrapins.  Liam is 1 month younger than Claire.

Claire was SUCH a good girl in the game.  The noise didn't seem to bother her at all.  She took a nap in the Ergo during the 2nd quarter, sat on Jason's lap during halftime and ate her lunch of sweet potato and yogurt, and then cheered the Terps on during their 2nd half comeback.  Go Terps!
