Take me out the the ball game!


This is a very monumental day in the Hoffman household. Ryder went to his first DODGER game! Let me start out by saying that Grandpa Brian is a huge Dodger fan, Papa Lark worked at Dodger stadium in high school, and Steve bleeds Dodger blue. Ryder definitely comes from a long line of Dodger fans, and after today it looks like he will definitely be following suit.

He was so great at the game!! We were so happy. He loved every minute of it. He even kept his Dodger hat on the whole game. We had been trying to have him wear it at home, but he would never keep it on. Not the case at the game. He was rooting for the home team all the way!

He had his first Dodger Dog (ok, not really...he only had the bun!).

He clapped every time the Dodgers made a great play.

We took our first picture as a family in our Dodger blue.

And after a long afternoon at the ball park, he conked out on the way home! Precious.

We sure do love our little Dodger.

Ryder Front Facing!

We moved Ryder's carseat so that he is front facing now. We are 2 weeks away from his 1st birthday, but we are going to Palm Springs this weekend so we thought he would do better front facing. How cute is this video?!? We hadn't even moved the car yet...he was that excited to be able to see us. I am so happy for him! He seriously melts my heart. And that laugh? Don't even get me started.




By the way, this video is from Steve's blackberry. Not bad!
