THE REAL MCCOY

McCoy's just discovered "OTHER" love (with no prompting...I swear!!)





Daddy here. Just thought I would share some words and photos about our little baby boy (aka: THE CHOSEN ONE) with everyone. McCoy has been very active these first few months making me take him to a bunch of different sporting events. Honestly, I do not know where he gets tickets to these games. We see him at his first opening day this past April at Safeco Field but he is loyally still sporting the orange and black. Next up was another trip to an M's game which was then followed by his first night game which just happened to also be his first visit to a suite. Mama definitely turned some eyes that night when McCoy decided he was hungry for some Noonies!! Then he schduled a trip to Cheny Field to watch the Tacoma Rainiers play. Here he is posing with Rhubarb the team mascot. While other children might show fear and loathing towards these spirit leaders, nary a concern on our boys face. Actually, he confided in me later that he had asked Rhubarb if he had had any contact with our old friend, the Crazy Crab and Rhubarb acted like he had no clue what he was talking about. McCoy just sighed deeply and turned away. Next up is his first trip to the mecca of stadiums--Pac Bell, I mean SBC, no wait AT&T Park in San Francisco. He is very excited. He can barely sleep. He is just bugging his mother about it constantly. I have no idea where he picked up this behavior.

Our trip up to Crystal Mountain with family and friends






The second pic here is of McCoy with his friends Sayid and Luis, they are 3 and 6 and McCoy is only 7 months but he thought he was much older cruising around the neighborhood with the boys in their electric car. Mike and I were laughing so hard, McCoy just loved it. !!
We took the chair lift up to the top of Crystal Mountain the day after the PigRoast to visit Mike, see the beautiful views of Rainier, Adams, Baker and surrounding mountains, eat a hot dog and enjoy the afternoon with good people. McCoy loved the chair ride and seeing dad in his element. I've also included a pic of Jordan, Caitlin, and I up at the mtn too. We were able to get a table at the summit house where we enjoyed a wonderful meal! It was great to spend time with friends and eat some good food at the highest restaurant in Washington state. :) Tonight McCoy did not want to fall asleep, so we took a nice little walk enjoying the sunset. He finally passed out just a few mintues ago, he layed there squirming around on our bed until he was still, and all was silent. (Except of course for dad and his sportscenter)

Our son is spoiled, he has a blog?!



Well we figured that since everyone in the world is pretty much internet savvy, that creating a blog would be the best way to keep everyone who loves 'the real McCoy' in the loop. He is now a little over 7 months and moving more every day, not yet crawling, but sure is moving! He's the best! To the left is a picture of the boy on his first camping trip with the family!! He loved it and as you can see loves his camping chair.
