Hudson's 1st Laker Game

On November 2nd, we took Hudson to his first Laker Game. When I took Hudson out of his car seat at Staples, I discovered that he had a huge diaper leak! I was bummed because he was already in his cute outfit for the game. Then as I was changing him I realized I forgot to pack extra pants (I only had another onesie and his jersey with me) and I became even more bummed. To make matters even worse, the diapers we were using were from my shower and had messages written on them. :) The poor kid had to go to the game wearing a message diaper with a jersey and a blanket wrapped around him to try and hide the fact that he was missing bottoms. By the time we changed his diaper, fed him, figured out his wardrobe, met up with Ashley and Andre and walked to our seats we had missed a good chunk of the first quarter.

Nic was nervous about how Hudson would handle all the lights and noise, but he seemed to handle it well. He sat and stared at first, then just went to sleep.The atmosphere didn't seem to phase him at all. He of course decided he was hungry during half time and I was still a bit uneasy about breastfeeding in public, so I went to the ladies restroom. I thought it had a make-up area where I could sit and feed Hudson, but I was mistaken. I ended up standing in the handicap stall to feed him. It was a bit challenging, but sometimes you have to be a little creative.

Hudson was very alert during the third quarter and became the hit of our area. People from a few sections over on either side were waving to me, smiling and mouthing how cute he was. His favorite thing was the jumbo tron. He seemed to be fascinated by the screen and all the lights. He looked so cute in his little jersey (despite being pant less) that I thought they would for sure put us on the kiss cam, but they didn't. :( 

We took a few photos and then the little guy was asleep again. We were very impressed with how good Hudson was and we had a lot of fun with Ashley and Andre. Next time we all go to a game together they will have a little baby with them as well. :)

On top of the game being a success, Hudson went to sleep around midnight (when we got home) and slept for 5 hours straight! Because he went to bed so late, Nic and I actually got 5 hours of sleep too, which felt amazing!! Maybe we should take Hudson to Laker games all the time. ;)
