ROLL TIDE!

Last Saturday, Alex went to his first ever Alabama Football game! He stayed through the whole game and I'm pretty sure he had a really good time. He got himself a hotdog, drank about 2 whole bottles of water, and he had his shaker. What more could he want? He would be drinking from his sippy cup and when everyone clapped he would put it on the ground and stand up and clap and then reach back down and get it. He sat about the first 5 minutes and then hardly sat after that. He would just walk back and forth from me to John.

This is him before the game at Mimi's house (where we park). My mom made his pants and we got many compliments on them. They have little white elephants on them. They are so cute on him!

He was so tired after the game. He fell asleep before we even got home. The week before the game we had been practicing saying "roll tide." He would hold the shaker and move it in circles and say "rooolll" but would never say tide. He hasn't ever put two words together before, so I wasn't hoping for much. Sunday on the way home from church we were going to eat and he had his shaker. I was saying "Roll Tide" and he said it! :) It was so cute! He has said it a few more times since then but of course won't really say it on demand. I need to try to get it on video. John and I were talking about how that may be his first two word combination. He has said what sounds like "Go Dogs Go" before, which is the title of a book, but we are not 100% sure and he says that at very random times. NOT when we are reading the book. :)
