Picture Update

Alexander got baptized this weekend! So here's a bunch of pictures to share with you all...

Happy baby playing on the blanket Memere made for him!

Alexander did not fit into the baptism gown that we were hoping he would wear. The sleeves wouldn't even fit over his hands! The skirt part barely fit him.

Kendo Baby!

Ballerina Baby!

Alexander met his (soon to be) uncle Nick for the first time! Who is this scary guy, mommy?

And meeting his great-grandmother for the first time.

It's hard work being this cute!

Alexander got baptized in a joint ceremony with his cousin Bridget, who is 6 weeks younger. I don't have pictures of the ceremony - I'll have to post those once I get them from someone else's camera. But here are some pictures of Alexander with Bridget, and the priest who baptized them.

"Cutting the cake". Alexander had a great grip on that knife! Bridget was doing her best to help. I think they were both about ready to end up in the cake though - Bridget ended up with a little icing on her toe.

The cousins together.... aw, how cute!
