you're never too young to go to a sporting event!

in max's seven short weeks of life he's already been to three i-cubs baseball games and one iowa state football game. he's been awake for about 12 minutes total of these four games. :) the kid really can sleep through anything. but i suppose we should enjoy that while it lasts (i've watched some parents with toddlers at games, and it seems a little draining!).

brian and i quickly realized that it takes about three times longer to get ready to go anywhere, and the amount of stuff a baby needs just for an afternoon outing is amazing. i didn't think we were EVER going to get out of the door last thursday for the ISU game, and then after triple checking to make sure we had everything, we somehow managed to forget the pacifier once we did get to the game. thankfully, as above mentioned, max slept through 99% of the game and didn't require the use of the blessed quieting device!

also, i have to mention that i nursed max in public for the first time ever at the ISU game. that was quite the experience that involved the sympathetic mother of twins next to us (we were in the unofficial baby row, i think, which isn't suprising given the fact that we were in the last row in the stadium!) letting me borrow her big blanket. the other fun first was me changing max's diaper in the backseat of the car (we were parked...don't worry!) on the way home. this task was complicated by the fact that it was the poopiest, most disgusting diaper max has yet to create. (the picture below of him crying and looking *extremely* pissed off is moments before i discovered the said diaper of poopic proportions.)

the sleeping/dino onesie picture is max at his third i-cubs game. he didn't open his eyes once!
