Jon and I went to a concert on Sunday. As we sat on the lawn at Riverfront park, enjoying the beautiful day and listening to country music I decided that we don't get out to enjoy Nashville enough. We bought these tickets to see Dierks Bentley and Tim McGraw for just $20 a piece. It was a charity concert for the Children's hospital. Unfortunatley we had to leave before we even saw Dierks (who is Jon's favorite country singer) because I had told the babysitter we'd be home by 6:15 so she had made dinner plans. The show opened with a cover band that played for over an hour before any big stars hit the stage. Luckily we still saw Tim McGraw. Before the show started I noticed a man dressed in black with a cowboy hat taking some pictures about 15 yards away from us. I really thought it was Tim McGraw, out listening to music with his fans. I wanted to get my picture taken with him but we had good seats that I didn't want to loose so we stayed put. Anyways, it turned out he was a Tim McGraw look alike so I'm glad I didn't approach him. I wonder if everyone lining up to take his picture knew it wasn't Tim. They certainly knew it once Tim came on stage in a bright shirt with a bandanna around his head. Unfortunatly we forgot our camera so these shots were taken with my phone.
Our only siting of Dierks as he welcomes everyone and opens the show. I'm so bummed we didn't hear him sing.

Tim McGraw. I love him!!
We left Maddie with a babysitter for 5 hours! I have never left her that long before. I considered bringing her with us but didn't know what to expect from the concert. Other people had their babies there so next year we'll definitely bring her! I missed her while we were gone but I wasn't nervous about leaving her at all, mostly because we had a pediatric nurse practitioner watching her!
As I was getting ready for the babysitter I started to experience life with a crawling baby. I put Maddie on the kitchen floor while I prepared her supper, making sure the dog food was far enough away from her. I turn by back for a second and next thing I heard was the dog food being played with. I move the bowls and put Maddie back where she started. I ran into the dining room to put something on the table, when I return the dog's water is spilled and Maddie is lying in it. She kept trying to get up but would slide on the water. Anyways, she had me on my toes all day today. Everytime I'd put her down with toys around her she'd go for something else.
I get her after her first nap today and she's standing holding onto the rail. I've never seen her pull up to a standing postion before. I guess we should lower her bed again.
Ok, I think that's all to report.

We just had dinner with friends who have a 9 month old. They told us that she would crawl up to their dog bowls (the kind that are elevated) and play with the water. One day, her mom looked over and saw her chewing away. Yup, she ate the dog food and apparently liked it :)
