babe brady.: Weeks 12-13

It's been a great couple of weeks: John is beginning to acknowledge Cooper, his neck is getting stronger, and we think he is even showing early signs of wanting to roll over - whoa there, John! This past weekend was a very special as we celebrated John's Baptism; family and friends gathered for the event, so John was sure to put on a show. He looked angelic in his special garments, originally worn by both his father and Granny, but looks can be deceiving. For the first half of the ceremony John enjoyed the smells (which were of his own making), sights, and sounds of the church... then came his performance. It began when Father George anointed him with oil and John spit-up all over the priest's hand. John then proceeded to cry for the entire second half of the ceremony, stopping only when Father George was holding him. Naturally, he fell asleep as soon as the ceremony ended. Afterwords, we were all happy to spend time with Mema, Pop-pop, Granny, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Michael, Godmother Kelly, Jake, JJ, and Godfather Tim. It was a delightful afternoon! Thank you all for sharing in this happy occasion, and congratulations John! Happy Thanksgiving!
