Baptism

James is baptized! (Finally!!)

The beginning of November was very exciting for our family, and for James. Not only was he baptized, but James got to met his Uncle Chad for the very first time, too. A huge thank you goes out to "Aunt" Lindsay and Uncle Chad for traveling in from out of state just to support James on his special day, and for less than a 48 stay. You both are the perfect Godparents for James, and we couldn't be happier to have you as his role models as he grows. He is one lucky little man.

James was such a good boy during church. He loved it! He impressively listened to an entire hour-long Catholic mass (with no toys for distraction), followed by the second hour for the baptism ceremony. Good thing he loves music and people watching! There were six infants baptized the same day - all others were teeny tiny girls! At 10 months old, James was the only boy and gave the priest a high-five! The priest loved how much hair he had, too. James didn't even complain as his full mane of hair was baptized with water. In fact, I think he wanted to dive right into that warm holy water and take a bath. And, his hair was nicely styled after his big event. You could tell he knew it was a special occasion, and he loved every minute of it (no nap and all!).

After the ceremony we celebrated at our house with a few friends and family. We are so thankful to have wonderful people surrounding James with love and support. He is truly blessed!
