Christian had his first Tball game on Saturday. He had practice on Wednesday night and he really seemed to enjoy it. So we were excited to see how his game would go. The game was very well attended with Daddy, Momma, Chris, Penny, Moe, Ashley, Jason, Rhiannon, Gagas, Gaga, Aunt Leslie, Ashton and Daniella. The game lasts 3 innings and the A's were up to bat first. Christian was last to bat in the 1st and 3rd innings, but first to bat in the 2nd inning. In outfield they rotate the kids around. He played in the outfield and 2nd baseman this game. He loves to bat and he loves to slide to try and catch the balls. By the 3rd inning he was pretty wiped. The game was at 3:00PM and it was really, really hot!!! He did good though. I think he will enjoy the rest of the season.

These were pictures Aunt Penny took. She took 52 pictures in all. But these were my favorites. This is right before he was getting ready to play and he just got his jersey and hat.

Here he is catching a ball. They work on catching ground balls more so than fly balls.

Getting ready for the next hitter. His hat was cracking me up. He was too cool!

Daddy is an Assistant Coach, so he is able to stay on the field with Christian, which is probably a good thing to keep him focused.

Up to bat!! He's a good hitter!

Toward the end of the game we saw a lot more of him squatting down and taking a rest.

Last inning....he's waiting for his chance to bat. How cute is he?

My little man is growing up. He looks so old in this shot.

Last inning in outfield. He has lost a little bit of interest by this point.

The hat is now backwards.

End of the game...giving high 5's. Look how little he is compared to everyone else. We think he is the youngest on the team. (He is #1 in case you couldn't tell by the backwards hat)

A little sweaty after the game, carrying his new equipment bag and an icepop that Chris gave him.
It was a fun day. Highlight was him running the bases for the first time. He had only run to first in practice. So when it came time for him to run to 2nd he took off for 3rd. He had to be redirected. And then when he was on 2nd he started to run back to 1st. Everyone was screaming "turn around". It was really cute. I got it on video.
