Baptism Week

Lily got baptized this week. She did so good! I took a bottle to the church and fed her when she fussed and then she ended up going right to sleep. She slept through the entire ceremony. It was so sweet :o) When I walked up to the priest I said "she's super asleep", hoping that he would be gentle with the pouring of the water, but no such luck. HE SOAKED her head, but she didn't even bat and eye! Then we stood in line and he came up and rubbed oil ALL OVER her little head, but she still didn't wake up! She woke up at the end of the ceremony when they rang some bells/chimes. She did very good, like the precious angel that she is. The baptism was separated into two ceremonies, one was on Tuesday and the other was Saturday. On Tuesday it was the anointment, she did ok that day. Lily is the luckiest baby to have such wonderful Godparents! Benny and Therese got her her plaid dress, her baptismal gown, her after party dress, a beautiful white embroidered blanket, an adorable white embroidered burp cloth for the ceremony, her little baptism candle and countless other goodies! I look forward to the day when Lily can spend quality time with them. It's such a blessing to have such wonderful people in my life and to be able to have them in Lily's life. They are truly a gift and we love them so much. Here are some pictures of little miss Lily during her big week!

Today was a pretty low key day. I decided that after yesterday Lily needed a day to relax and just hang out at home. I took her into her nursery and sat her in her bumbo and we "played". I showed her some of her toys. She's never really played with anything before. The "baby keys" were a HIT! She's so cute I can hardly stand it! Everyday she learns more and more, but today was the first day that I really felt like she was really interacting with me and her surroundings. She reaches out for my hands and face. She follows things with her eyes and grabs at them. I sat her in her swing and my dad started talking to her and she just started chatting away! She's getting such a unique personality and it's awesome seeing how she changes everyday. She's so loved :o)

Here's some video of Lily with her keys and of little miss chatter box!
