Fan of the Game

Last night we took Cam to his first Celtics game. Walking through the stadium it felt like we were with a celebrity. Everyone would stop and point and "ooo and aaaah" like they'd never seen a baby before.

When we sat down in our seats everyone's attention turned from the game to the little Celtics baby. A guy sitting near us asked if we wanted him to take our picture. We said, great!

Cam was actually pretty tired since the game started at 8, so not much of his usual smiling but he was super mellow and chill the whole time, loud noise and everything.

His 15 seconds of fame came during one of the time outs when the camera saw him and couldn't take it's lens off him. He was seriously on the Jumbo Tron FOREVER! People were cheering and going nuts and then a screen popped up that said he was one of 3 fans nomintated for the Fan of the game!

If we thought he was a celebrity before the Jumbo Tron, you should've seen him after! I took him out in the concourse area and I'm not kidding you, dozens of people kept stopping me and saying things like, "Oh my gosh!! It's the baby from the Jumbo tron!" "You guys are the people from t.v.!" Or "Hey look, it's the fan of the game!" Another person asked if we wanted them to take our picture again. Sure! (Cam had a nice drool patch going under his double chins at this point, I think he was drooling over Taber's popcorn)

Of course being famous can be pretty exhausting and before the 3rd quarter was finished our little guy was passed out. Loud cheering, blasting music, crazy fans, nothing could faze him, he was out cold. He had done his job and put a smile on thousands of peoples faces, and now it was time for some well earned sleep : )

Dude! That drool pic is hilarious! He just couldn't get enough of the game! Also, I would have been mortified if they put me on the Jumbo tron! Glad you were ok with it. You looked great!!!

What a fun outing and Cam was so cute in his Celtics gear....he gets my vote for fan of the game too!

Tara said...

Oh my gosh, how cool is this story?! He really was the star of the game! I think the jumbotron thing was a combination of adorable baby and drop-dead gorgeous mommy. And in Celtics gear to top it off. This is awesome, how cool for him to read this story someday!

CHO said...

Oh my gosh, this is sooo cute!!!! He's already famous at only 3 months old! :) That must have made the game even that much more fun for you and Taber. Watching basketball is cool; watching thousands of people ooo and ahh over your baby is even better :)

Jodi said...

That is CRAZY! I can't believe you were on the jumbo tron for that long! He does look super cute in that little Celtics tee shirt!

Adrienne said...

You guys are so good about going and doing fun things. This will be a great story to tell Cam when he gets older. He is so handsome and you look great cuddling a little boy. I am in mourning because Sawyer is now mobile and it happened way too fast. You guys need to get back to MN so our little guys can be friends.

That seriously is so cool! I can't believe the picture of you and Cam on the Jumbo-tron - so cute! He is a lucky baby to have such cool parents to take him to games. He's just so cute in his little Celtics gear. I love how worn out he looks in that last picture - like, man, being famous is hard work.
