So finally we have had some nicer weather to play baseball! Max is really excited. He is doing really well this season and it's been a huge confidence builder for him. I took these pictures the other night at his game. Little league baseball is so fun to watch! I captured a few moments that I wanted to save here on my blog! Enjoy!
Isn't he a stud!
On game day, Max went with me to run at the park. He took his scooter and we were going around the paved trail. The trail has a little bit of a hill on it and as we started down it, his baseball hat came off. He didn't want to loose it of course and started looking back for it. It didn't take long to loose control and he rolled a couple times. If you leave near the park, you may have heard his blood curdling cry! He really thought this was a huge injury. So when I made him go to baseball practice he was baby-ing it a little bit. His Coach asked him what happened and Max told him. Then the coach said the best thing he could have! "Well, Max," he said,"Did they have to cut off your arm?" Max said no and the coach responded,"Then use it!" That was a big "amen" from me!
This is his game saving catch! Not really, just practicing for when he does get one! 
At bat....the pitch was inside. Kid pitch games are very long, rarely a hit. It's a walk fest! Max was walked every time!
Okay, this picture isn't very good, mostly because I'm still trying to figure out my camera! But that is Max on third base, jumping out to lead off. Watching him lead off is one of the funniest things ever! He thinks he's spooking the catcher and thepitcher! It's hilarious-but he is definitely getting better!
It's not unusual to see this at a PeeWee game! Here's the Carinals Center fielder, picking grass! I had to snap this one! It made me laugh!

VERY cute post! It looks like Max is really having fun. I loved the picture of Alex and Max that's definitely a keeper that's really sweet. Thanks for sharing.
Way to go Max! I love that picture of the center fielder...CLASSIC! Max is getting so big..and I think red and blue are HIS colors. Handsome kid!
Go you with your camera! Those were great pictures! I love that you're loving your litte guy! He's so stinkin cute!! And i LOVE that last picture!
How Fun and great weather to sit and watch your kids play baseball! Porter starts next week. He has never played with a team, just with daddy. He told me yesterday that he just wants to be on the team that hits the ball with the bat, not the team that catches. Hum....I hope they teach the tiny kids the rules first!
