Xander’s First Football Game

Xander attended his first professional football game on September 14th, 2014.  I have season tickets that we share with Papa and Nana.  This is our 4th year having season tickets and our 3rd with our current seats.  We love the people around and and don’t plan on moving.  Here is the view from our current seats.

We use a front-pack for Xander, and with him being 5 months and 5 days old he is pretty used to it.  In fact he will fall asleep in it most times easier than in a bed.  Step one, getting him comfortable in the front-pack, was the most important item for this trip.  As long as Jenni or Izzy is near it’s pretty easy to get him in and out of the pack.  I have the flexibility of a tree so I need help getting everything tight and him comfortable.  I can get him out easily, but getting him in by myself requires some extra effort and he’s never quite comfortable as I’d like.  Here is a selfie of the three of us about 45 minutes before kickoff, generally the time we like to be in our seats.

Xander did better than I expected.  He cried only when he was hungry and was a little fussy when he was tired.  He slept through Dan Reeves (like most fans remember) and the beginning of the third quarter.  For those of you who don’t know the Broncos finally added Dan Reeves to the “Ring of Honor”.  He was active and flirting with all the moms around us the rest of the game.  He wore infant ear protection when we were in our seats and made it through the full game.

Like Izzy, the girls love Xander.  He is starting his own team before the game.  So far, he has recruited two members.

After extensive research, I believe his first two members are Toni and Gioia (left to right).

EXTENSIVE RESEARCH…
