Eddie and I have been so blessed to meet so many wonderful families within the baseball community, especially the Wards. The Ward family reminds me of my own family: outgoing, talkative, rambunctious, and maybe a little, just a little, bit loud. They are also the first family Eddie and I met in the travel ball community and they welcomed us in for lunch the first day and we have been friends ever since.
Words cannot explain the grin that was stretched across Dustin's face when he told me Stacie was pregnant. I am not quite sure I have ever seen a daddy so proud and elated at growing an already large family by one more. It is pretty awesome to watch the family with little Tater because they all gather around like a team working together to take care of him, cheering on Stacie with all her accomplishments as a new mama, while laughing and poking fun at one another through it all. Tater is the luckiest baby in the world because he is surrounded by so many people who love and care for him!
I feel the need to point out that Tater is the family nickname for him. Another baseball mom, Lee Ann, and I prefer Pablo but were outvoted. He will forever be Baby Pablo in our hearts though!
Here is that famous Ward grin!
"MOM. What.are.you.doing. Fur? Really?!" He was giving me the good ole Ward stare down and did NOT think this was cute.
It took three of us to finally get him to sleep...and he only snoozed for 5 minutes. Who knew the baby who always sleeps would not sleep for me or the baby whisperer? Haha!
