Happy November

Happy November! I can't believe this year is already on it's way to a close. Where does the time go? Now that I'm working again it really flies by so quickly.

We saw two concerts in October. First was Bruce Springsteen at MSG. Our first time seeing him. I'd always heard he puts on quite a show so I figured it was time to see for ourselves. Wow does that man own the stage. Actually he owned the whole Garden for the 2 1/2 hours he and his E Street band played. So much passion and emotion! Out of all the music they played I only recognized 3 or 4 songs but it didn't matter. He was a joy to watch. The fans were very psyched to say the least. Throughout the perfomance (and before and after) they screamed "Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce" which kinda sounded like "boooooooooooo". Pretty funny.

Halloween night we saw The Police, also at MSG. They were not so good. Not sure if it's because they're too old, too tired, or just don't enjoy playing together but they just had no energy. They were all in costume which was kinda nice, but I wish they changed halfway through as it was just kind of odd watching Sting sing in a black and yellow jester outfit, or Andy Summers jam dressed as Charlie Chaplin. The highlight of the night for us was watching the master Stewart Copeland play drums. The man is a genius. I've never seen someone play with such skill and confidence. He really owned the stage, or, the back of it at least. We sat behind the stage which I really didn't mind this time as the show was pretty dull, but seeing the behind the scenes action and Stewart made it all worthwhile.

Because of the concert we didn't dress up Sophie for Halloween. I know, I know-but it just didn't make any sense to buy a costume and dress her up when she doesn't eat candy or participate in trick-or-treating. Next year for sure, even if we don't do anything.

Sophie is crawling EVERYWHERE and spends most of her time standing up and holding on to furniture while she tries to cruise around. Very cute. I feel like this kid is going to be walking a lot earlier than most. She is so determined to keep moving. And at only 6 1/2 months!

She loves all her baby food (except bananas) and sleeps 10 hours through the night. But getting up at 6am is no fun. Especially now that the time is changing tonight.
