Just found these pics on my phone and ahh!
Binge blogging, commence.
My specialty.
Backpedal to June 3 (!!!) ---> This day was 2.5-month-old Harper's first time at Busch, and she walked off with a "W!" Slept for 6 innings, ate for 2, and pooped for 1 [notice outfit change, ha to the not ha]...
I remember being mega nervous to take her along, because: a) ridiculous pants pooping is her trademark, b) pumping/feeding when/where/how?!, c) no afternoon nap is a slow torturous death for everyone involved, d) hot-ish weather be on the radar, e) loud cheering may damage her hearing, f) a potentially fussy baby would probably torque off the people around us, g) I don't know what else I panicked about but I'm sure there was an "g" at the time.....and probably also an "h," "i," "j".......etc., etc., etc...
But worry wart momma was sooo pleasantly surprised! [I'm quickly learning that setting hideously low standards generally warrants pleasant surprises.] The day was so fun! Harper fell asleep in her carrier right away and slept like a champ; plus, she got a "First Game" sticker and certificate from our sweet usher AND was interviewed and photographed for the Belleville newspaper by a smitten reporter!
Oh yeah, and the Cards left with a "W," too! I think they found their littlest new fan! ;) Cheers for a fantastic day in the STL!

PS -- Brian later found this gem floating around the world wide web. I like how the reporter interviewed us for 10+ minutes and somehow seemed to come up with this short mash-up of a caption. What! That's not what I said!
PSS -- "Abstetics"...? [Insert hysterical laughing con tears emoji here.]
