Finally got Ava baptised. It was something that I had been worrying about since she was born. It was just one... more... thing to do. We went to the hour-long baptism class at the church. They showed us a video from the 1980's and that was about it. I was so thankful that we could have the baptism after mass, because so much can go wrong and I didn't want to be embarassed in front of a whole congregation. Well of course Ava was starving when the baptism finally got underway. She screamed almost the whole time. I hope the Godparents were paying attention to what the deacon said because I didn't hear a word. The whole time I was wishing the deacon would hurry up so I could go feed her and make her happy. I really felt bad for the other family who was getting their daughter baptised, they had to listen to my child's blood-curdling screams. I need to get their address and send them a fruit basket. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to fully enjoy the experience. I almost feel like I want a do-over. Anyways, Leah snapped some adorable pictures which made it all worth it. Here are my favorites:

It was a baptism to remember. You can tell her when she gets older how she cried through the whole thing! At least her outfit was perfect!!!
Funny story! The exact thing happened to me when we had Brooklyn baptized except an ornery lady yelled at me and told me to give Brooklyn a bottle. It made me cry and I honestly don't remember the baptism because I was worried that other people were mad at me too.
