Game On!

Today we initiated Truman into the time-honored tradition of spending fall Saturdays watching Notre Dame football. Here he is modeling his ND jersey, courtesy of Cathy, Margo, Sue and Michelle (Alison's ND roommates). He'll be five months old tomorrow, and you can tell how eager he is to stand on his own. We're not ready for that yet. But he is.




Too much tailgating. (Just kidding.)




The game was a nailbiter for a while. As in, through all four quarters.




Hanging out with Dad during half-time.




Multitasking at his "office" while watching the game. He took out a lot of his game anxiety on that poor "associate," the dragon (cowering to Truman's left). That guy can't catch a break.



Trying out the booster seat and wondering, "Hey, where are the Cheerios?!"




Couldn't resist another smile. (And note the new monogrammed diaper bag in the background. We upgraded in anticipation of all of our upcoming trips.)



Next week, ND plays Michigan. It'll be tough. Go Irish!

Oh, Truman-you are getting cuter by the minute! Now you are all set to survive watching a game with PopGeorge! We think you will be at our house for the 10/25 ND vs. Washington game-so bring your cool jersey! Can't wait!
Love from NJ-

Happy five month birthday, Truman. I can't believe how much you've changed in 10 days since I was there. You are getting to be such a big boy! As your Aunt Ellen said, you cuter by the minute.
Love,
Grandmommy

That's right. Begin the indoctrination early.

Truman, since ND squeaked out that win you now have to wear that jersey for every game (I hope you didn't wash it!).

Hope your first football season is better than mine was!

Can't wait to see you soon!

Love, cousin Phoebe
