One of many firsts

This evening I took my 1yr grandson to his first baseball game. The wives of the players were raising money for the local food bank and for a $25 donation you got a baseball signed by the entire team. He got it. Then of course we're walking around the concouse and they're selling team hats for todlers, he got one. I really love the hat 'cause it's called "Toddler Beast Hat", his nick name is "Monster". We call him Monster because of his weight when he was born (11lbs 7oz) and at a year he is the physical size of a 21 month old baby. He gets used to being passed around to be held because he weighs so much. We were sitting on a grassy hill area of the ball park and as he tried to walk up the hill he fell on his butt and would have flipped over if I hadn't caught him. He's that big. He's got a GIANT head and a fat belly and because he couldn't walk down the hill he got on his belly and started pushing himself backwards down the this kid is stubbron but he's smart.
The home team won and they had a fire works show after the game and we were in a perfect spot to see them and the baby just looked and watched the whole show and never made a sound. The finale was fantastic and he pushed himself back against his mom so he could look up higher. It was great.
This makes 2 first for he and I. I took him to his first rock concert (ZZ Top) but he wasn't born yet but he was 8 mos in development and now his first ball game. He's dancing all the time, now, and likes to be sung to. His mom loves my version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider", I call mine "The Giant Giant Butt Head" 'cause he can be the biggest butt head you've ever met when he gets one of his moods.
My dad was stubbron, I am, my son is and now my grandson. I wonder if it's genitic?
