Happy Baptism to me!


Sunday was my Baptism, and lots of family and friends showed up to celebrate my big day. Mom dressed me in the same baptismal gown that she — and more recently, Julia —wore. I can't believe she or Dad were ever as tiny as I am!


I had a meltdown right before the Baptism, but Dad gave me a bottle, which was enough to knock me out for most of the ceremony. At least until this moment happened:


That holy water shower sure woke me up! Soon after, Aunt Jess put a special baptismal vestment on me.


After the baptism, I posed for lots of pictures. Here I am with Mom, Dad, Julia and my godparents: Aunt Jess and Joe (Saffron and Jonathan's dad).


Here I am with Dad's side of the family:



And here I am with Mom's side of the family:


After the Baptism, Mom and Dad had a reception for me at a nearby restaurant.


I spent time with Aunt Halina...


And Uncle Ryan...


And while I didn't get to eat any cake, it sure looked good!


Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate my Baptism. It meant a lot to me to have you there. If you weren't able to be there, here's a video of what you missed:
