It was a weekend of many firsts for Addy. On Saturday we went to a White Sox game in Chicago. The game was our gift to Derek for his birthday. It was also Addy's first sporting event. We left in the morning and stopped at IKEA on the way into the city. Addy loved her first trip to mommy's favorite store! We headed to the White Sox game later that afternoon. It was Father/Daughter night at the game and we had tickets for a pre-game parade where we got to walk out on the field. It was a lot of fun. Addy was great throughout all of the festivities and then fell asleep right before we went on the parade around the field. She drew a lot of comments and compliments from the fans in the stands and she was even noticed by one of the White Sox coaches! Unfortunately, the Sox lost 2-0..but Addy made it through 7 innings, which was a victory in itself.
Saturday night was also supposed to be Addy's first overnight stay in a hotel, but she had other plans. Addy decided to wake up around 12:15 and have a party that involved lots of screaming. After many unsuccessful attempts at soothing her, Derek and I decided to make the trip home in the middle of the night. Needless to say, she fell asleep after five minutes of being in the car and slept until 9:30 Sunday morning. Despite the late night drama, we had a great time and Derek had a first Father's Day weekend that he will never forget.
Addy and I at IKEA...doesn't she look excited?!

Since Addy slept through the parade and the game, she was ready to party at 12:15 AM. Glad you had a great time. I'm sure Addy did!
Love,
