July

Pure joy in the Jumperoo

Her Christening cross, bonnet, icon & too-cute shoes. It's hard enough to get a picture of HER let alone all the details. So I took her out of the equation. These are much more patient photo subjects.

The photo we're using for the Christening thank-yous (which, in my normal timely fashion, should arrive by ~Christmas...). Not the end all be all best picture ever, but after 20min it wasn't going to get much better.
This photo was SO cute but she's mid-arm-flap so it's blurry... oh well.... Her gown and beautiful basket of Christening necessities that was put together by her Godmother (Nouna), Laurie.
The baptismal font....

Walking up to the alter after the ceremony in the back of the church...

Just before she gets the full body dunk. Notice the bottle of olive oil in her Godfather's (Nouno's, John's) hand. She got covered in it before getting dunked.

This is the ONE AND ONLY picture I have of her in her gown. We have a few should-be-professional-photographers in the family who were all snapping pictures. Once I get a copy of their pictures I'll post a better one...

After the ceremony she had her 3rd water encounter in 2 days. For a kid who hates the bath this weekend was pure torture!

Just looking super cute.

Her latest & greatest impression: Sid Vicious

Peas are not on the favorite food list.

While I was taking funny-face-pea-pictures she would stop and TOTALLY mug for the camera. She did it about 4 times! Fabulous pictures of her but of course her face is covered with green slime....

Just because she's SO cute...

Looking ultra-preppy on the 4th of July...

Love being naked.... just HATES the bath!

Nudie. Nudie.

She just looooooves being Super Baby.....

And yes, that is the ceiling behind her.
