| The family |
Week 14 was pretty quiet around the Bogart household, with the exception of Sunday. Reggie was able to score free tickets to the Chiefs/Cardinals game through his work. So, with the weather being in the upper 60s, we thought it made for a perfect opportunity to strap on the Baby Bjorn and take our little guy to his first professional football game! He didn't mind it at all, and even slept during part of the game. Due to Reggie's fear of the noise, whenever the Chiefs were on defense, Henry was using dad's hands as noise mufflers on his ears. Overall, it was a great day for the family!

After the game, Laura wanted to get some pics of us next to the field. While we were down there, Henry pointed out two Chiefs cheerleaders that he wanted to get a picture with. They were gracious enough to hold him while Laura snapped the shots. As you can see in the picture, little Henry decided to "perv" up the shot by staring at the woman's chest! We actually took two shots - in the other one he is staring at the red head's chest. Is that called 'being a playa'? It is either that, or Henry was secretly filming one of those "Got Milk?" commercials. :)
We also happened to run into our friends the Howes and their baby Noah, and the Knoblauchs and their son Dolan. You have seen them in appearances previously on this blog. Their boys will be in the same daycare room with Henry in January. They are 4 months older than Henry, which apparently translates to wanting to pull each other's hair, because that seemed to be their source of entertainment!

Finally, I wanted to share a couple of interesting comments from the game. First, we were approached by four separate groups asking if I had 'Carlos' with us? It took us a minute to think back to the Hangover! Second, as a woman in our row was leaving the game, she said to Laura, "Oh, it is a real baby. I thought it was a doll." Laura didn't even know what to say, other than, "yep, it is a real baby." Seriously, who would strap a Bjorn to their chest with a babydoll and go to a Chiefs game (Dave Sifford not included)? So strange!
Developmentally, Henry is starting to improve on his hand-eye coordination. He is now pulling at toys that are hanging off his playmat. He continues to be extremely verbal at times. Seems odd that hearing that little boy squeaking and coo would melt your heart, but it does! He is really turning on the water works, and by that I mean drooling all over every single thing he gets around. You would think that we were entering him in some sort of baby wet t-shirt contest daily based upon how his shirts always look! He is taking to his crib really well, and is getting better about not screaming bloody murder when we first put him in there. Finally, and this is a big step, he is starting to want to roll over. We have noticed on a few occasions where he will roll onto his left side. Just a little more and we'll be all the way there!

Laura also wanted to point out that Henry can now wear baby jeans as opposed to just sweatpants. I don't know if that is technically a developmental accomplishment or a fashion accomplishment (and I think Laura is prouder of the latter :) ). I will let the public decide that one.
