Lexi's Baptism

Hi again!  I haven't been as faithful writing letters lately, but I've been very busy.  It's a lot of effort learning how the world works.

So on Saturday (6/16/12) I was 8 weeks old.  I celebrated with Meemaw who came for the weekend.  We were also busy preparing for a big party!

I was baptized here at Mommy's church on Sunday (6/17/12).  It must be a big deal because we had a dinner and cake and ice cream afterwards!

First we went into the church where it was COLD!  Then Mommy and Grandma made me all pretty in a white lacy dress.  I must be a bit of a tom boy because I wasn't a huge fan of the dress.  We got to go up to the front of the church which is father than I've ever been before.  After that, I don't remember much cause I fell asleep.  In fact, Mommy says I slept right through all this water and other smelly stuff they put on me.

Afterwards we had a big party at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Everyone came, including my new godparents Aunt Suzanne and Mr. Reid.

It was a lot of people and after awhile I just couldn't take it anymore. Mommy and Grandpa had to take me to a back room.  I got to spend some quality time with Daddy for his first Father's Day.

I was exhausted from getting passed around. I ended up sleeping a LONG time after Mommy and Daddy took me home.

Meemaw was wonderful and stayed until the following day, so I got to play with her at night and again in the morning. I miss seeing her!
