Lorelei was baptized today....she was the only baby, just like Anya! It was back in the main church, so the decorations were very similar to Anya's, which was also the weekend after Christmas. Amazingly, we all arrived right on time, but as we were changing the baby into her Christening gown, she starting SCREAMING. Usually, L is a very mellow kid, and when she cries, it's easily quieted with a bottle/boob or eliciting a burp. This crying was very different than ANY cry I've ever had from her. We quickly took her dress and onesie off to see if she was scraped or something, but we couldn't find anything. I think George and I were thinking the same thing...noting the irony of the happiest kid ever pitching the biggest fit of her life (tears included!) the first time she's brought into a church!

Anyway, she eventually did make a tremendous burp and a few farts and was soon back to her happy self. Whew! The service was really nice and the deacon remembered us and didn't really comment on how rarely (never) we attend church. I'm happy that we got it in before L outgrew the gown that Nana bought- it really is beautiful and looked great on her!

Now I've got to start packing up for our trip to Grandma and Pap-Pap's to celebrate with them. These holidays seem to go on and on and on and having a sick kid did not help at all! Thankfully, she's completely recovered and fingers crossed she's the only one to get it!
