Happy Birthday, Thomas

Cousin Thomas celebrated his 11th birthday on Friday. For his party, he wanted to invite some of his family and friends to a Spurs game and luckily, we were part of the guest list. We thought twice about taking Andrew to the game, but thought we would give it a try.

Andrew and I picked up Daddy from work around 4pm; and on the way to Daddy's office, Andrew actually fell asleep in the car and slept for about an hour. About halfway into the trip, we stopped for some BBQ for dinner. A.J. loved eating Mommy's brisket and bread. We got back on the road as Daddy drove and Mommy sat in the back with Drew. Andrew got a little fussy as he was getting tired again. He cried for about 20 minutes before falling asleep. Mommy really wanted him to get that nap in so he wouldn't be so tired as the night wore on. Andrew woke up 10 minutes from the AT&T Center and began crying. We quickly parked; and Andrew was much happier being out of the car seat and in Daddy's arms. He was already busy looking around at all the lights. We found our seats and family shortly after the first quarter started. Drew did so well. He was entralled looking at all the lights and hearing the sounds...though, some was too loud causing him to get a little scared. And he was really looking into the people sitting by us, who were nice to try to play with him as well. He didn't get fussy at all during the whole game. We were so proud of him!! Unfortunately, the Spurs lost the game, but at least made it closer in the 4th quarter.

This morning, we ran some errands and then headed over to Aunt Janine's to hang out for the day. We watched lots of football and got to catch up with the Gonzaleses. Andrew loved Stephanie's dog, Bandit. He wanted to play with him and tried to pet him. And Bandit did really well and was very patient with A.J. even when Drew smacked him in the face once.

Happy Birthday, Thomas!! Thanks again for inviting us to your birthday celebration. We love you very much.

Mommy didn't take any pictures of Andrew at the game because Daddy didn't want to take the big diaper bag into the arena and the camera was in there. :( Mommy is very sad. But here are some pictures of Andrew from Saturday with his cousins.
