What to Expect? The Unexpected.

Niamh has still been pulling herself up on everything. The other day I caught her in the bathroom having just pulled herself up on the toilet! I shut the bathroom door after that.

It did kind of remind me of a movie trailer I saw recently though, "What to Expect When You're Expecting." I laughed out loud at that trailer! I think I need a group of Dads like the one in the movie that I can tell the things to that maybe I'm not quite comfortable telling Beth :) Just kidding Mom.

This is Niamh's "Old Man Shirt" ...

Even though I've been at this Dad thing for almost 9 months, there are still lots of things that I'm uncomfortable doing. A couple of examples are I don't like feeding Niamh solid food and I don't like clipping her fingernails. The solid food thing is obviously my fear of Niamh choking. I think the nail clipping phobia has something to do with once upon a time when I tried clipping Ollie's nails and I clipped a little too close and he wasn't happy at all.

Mom, check out her ring finger... it's getting sharp... I think it's time for a trim :)

Here she goes with those socks again...

Beth, Niamh and I were at the Cardinal game on Tuesday night with a couple of friends. Niamh was a trooper and made it through the whole game awake and happy (extra innings and all). We were sitting 14 rows from the field on the first base side. During extra innings, I was holding Niamh and a high foul ball came flying towards our seats. I held Niamh in my right arm and tried to catch the ball with my left hand, but it went just out of my reach a row behind us. BUT, the ball rolled right under our friend's seat and she grabbed it! She generously gave it to Niamh for her first foul ball! (while Beth was giving me the evil eye for trying to catch it)

Today, I put this dress (that was a gift from Grandma) on Niamh in honor of dropping off Grandpa and Great Uncle Tim at the Cardinals' day game today.

We stopped at Blues City Deli on the way to the game.

GO CARDS!
