colin's first football game

My mom was given free tickets to the BYU game yesterday, and she invited Colin and I to go with her. We had a lot of fun. The seats were really good, and we got to eat in the fancy tent before and after the game. Colin was pretty well behaved. He cried on the way to the game, and he cried on the way home, but he was remarkably happy during the game. He took a nap for a while, twitching when something awesome happened and the crowd cheered. He liked having so many new things to look at and listen to. I guess we'll have to get him season tickets for next year...

I felt like I should take a picture of Colin in his CougarWear before the game in case the clothes didn't survive the trip.

Here he is with Nana when we got to our seats. 

A picture of the field, you know, to show we were at a football game.

Colin and Mom (which would be me).

Thanks for the hat Brad and DeAnna!

After the game he played on the floor with Daddy. It sure was nice of them to both look at the camera for me. 

What a cute kid. And good thing he is too, because after this little photo shoot he decided to cry for about 3 hours straight. The only time he stopped was when he was being carried facing out with my arm on his tummy standing up with my fingers in his mouth. Bah! I had drool pouring down my arms, and I got really tired of standing and/or pacing around the house. Sitting was not allowed, and neither was his pacifier. Finally we tired each other out enough for Nate to feed him and put him to bed. 

This morning he's decided to be his charming self again, for which we are all thankful.

Here's a winning picture from this morning. I heard Nate telling Colin, "We're not playing Helen Keller." I turned around to see this. Apparently Colin was enjoying himself by feeling Nate's face with his eyes closed. (His had opened his eyes by the time I got the camera out.)
