My parents traveled all the way from Washington (state) for the occasion. My cousins, Manang Jocelyn and Manong Soliman are her Godparents. Fortunately for us they are currently stationed at Fort Belvior, so it worked out really well. Jimmy and I have always looked up to them, so Amelia is in good hands ;0)
The Mass and ceremony was really stressful for me. Try getting a 15 month old to sit still for an hour, ha ha ha. When we went up in front of the congregation to do the actual baptism, Amelia was holding her dolly, snack cup, and eating a cracker. She was super squirmy, started whining a few times, started playing with the fixtures on the wall, had to be passed around to three different people, and then my mom actually had to come up and give her a drink from her cup to keep her calm. Definitely not your typical baptism!
Oh yeah, and she didn't want to wear the traditional bonnet (she kept ripping it off), so she got baptised with her hair in pigtails ;0)
My beautiful baby
Blessing and prayer beforehand... we were up there for about 10 minutes and this was when Amelia started acting up! Longest 10 minutes of my life, ha ha ha.
