Beau's Baptism

 
The only time he cried all day!
 
 With his godparents...one is my brother and one is my best friend
 With his Uncle Aaron/godfather at the reception...ya' know..telling stories and lies!
 The man of the hour at his par-tay!
 Cake and presents!
 Guests
 
 
 
My baby was a rock star...he was so good all day.  The only regret I have is that I don't have one 'good' picture of him all by himself in his baptismal clothes!
 
 
 
I found this pic later on my camera.
When we were unloading at the end of the day...I opened the back hatch to my suv and his balloon floated away and got stuck in this tree :(  I was going to deflate it and put it in his scrapbook.

Well, back again.

I am trying to write a blog post about my son's baptism...but I can't get pictures to upload, so I am going to wait until blogger lets me put pics up to do that.

Not much going on...my brother's girlfriend is coming over soon to watch Beau as I go to the gym.  Can't wait to get my work-out on.

Tomorrow I am going to get a massage which is a Christmas present I received.  I am a little nervous about laying on my boobs because of the milk issue.  Will this be a problem?  Will I wet the table?

Yesterday we had a little outing.  We went to the library, coffee shop (which my brother's gf works at so we visited with her...so loves Beau and will be having my niece in April), then my grandma and I went to Subway and then back to her house, and finally the grocery store.  He was a perfect angel the whole time.  If I schedule long outings, usually I have to stop at a grandma's house to get a good nursing session in in the middle of the day. 

I received this today.....

 
I ordered it about a week ago...I will try it out tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes.  I have never spent so much for eye shadow...it better be good stuff!!!!!!!!!! :)
 
 
 
We are thinking about going to a movie tonight but I don't know if I want to leave him with a sitter twice in one day (remember the gym)  so we probably won't.  I wish I could bring him to a movie with me.  So we might skip it...maybe.
 
 
Why does blogger let me post a pic from the Internet but not from my private pics so I can do the baptism post??????????????

Useful baby item that may come as a surprise to you!

You want to know which baby item I bought for fun, but turned out to be one of the most useful items I own????  This maybe a surprise.....

My moses' basket!  I use it all the time!

I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and he peaceful napped in it while I enjoyed dinner.  I brought it to an all day Christmas party and he napped twice in it.  I brought it to Christmas eve and he napped in it.  I bring it into the kitchen and he lays in it while I bake.  I use it everyday.  We even took pics in it.  I am so happy I bought it.  Definitely worth the money.  It is so light weight that we don't mind taking it with us places.


In other news....he is going to be baptised this coming Sunday (also the baptism of our Lord...pretty cool date)  There will be about 50 family and friends there and we are having a luncheon after....I can't wait for him to be the center of attention!
