Ellie's First Red Sox Game

Last Saturday we took Ellie to her first Red Sox game. It was a great experience (I still can't believe how great Ellie is in public, so mellow!). The tickets were given to my company from the Red Sox as a thank you for the work we did at Fenway. So myself and my coworker (who also helped on Fenway and took over once I had Ellie) took our significant others (and Ellie) to the game. We sat out in the bleachers and had fun, despite the cold weather, cheering on the Red Sox as they beat the Orioles 6-4.

Holding Ellie on my lap was a little distracting, but I saw the majority of the game. Nick even kept score, like he usually does. We stayed through the whole game. Changing Ellie's diaper in the women's room was an interesting experience. It was crowded and full of semi-drunk to full-on drunk women who all wanted to tell me how cute Ellie was and some anecdote about their own kid/neice/nephew/friend's baby... When we were leaving some women were really excited by Ellie, and Ellie got really excited by their squealing and funny faces and squealed back at them and flashed a huge smile.
