Women's World Cup 2011

Yesterday Kodiak and I were extremely excited to cheer on the US Women's soccer team in the finals.  Thanks to our friend Megan Potter, Kodiak had the perfect onesie to wear in preparation for the big game!!  And, mommy found cute little USA shorts at Babies R Us to complete the look.  We knew Grandpa Hanke would love the team support when we headed over to his house to watch the game together.  Kodiak even brought his plush soccer ball and showed Grandpa how he's been practicing his kicks!! 

As everyone has probably learned by now, the US women lost to Japan, but the game itself was still phenomenal!  The second half, overtime, and shootout were so exciting that Kodiak missed most of his afternoon nap as he kept his eyes glued to the television.  I think there's definitely a love of the game forming already!!


Prior to the exciting game, Mommy had scheduled to have Kodiak's 2-month photos taken. GG (Grandma Chris) had the great idea to do a soccer theme in the photos.  We had hopes it would be good luck for the team, but I guess not...  Kodiak was such a little stinker.  He's started smiling like you wouldn't believe, and yet, during the entire 1/2 hour photo shoot we couldn't get a single smile out of him!!   I think the stubborness of his parents is already wearing off on him!!  Luckily we still received some cute photos, and you can check them out on my Facebook page!
