So much going on with little Jack. We’ll start with the Baptism Saturday. He was just a little angel for the whole thing. I think he was under the impression that this strange man was washing his hair:



I am relieved to finally have the ceremony over. It was such an ordeal trying to get the date worked out, find a church and a deacon who would perform the ceremony, and put together a small gathering. Our church wouldn’t accommodate us on Memorial Weekend, so we ended up going to a different church. I think we will be switching our membership – they were so helpful at St Thomas and I really liked the deacon who performed the service. It was lovely.

Here are a few more shots:

Jack is close to a meltdown here. That’s Michael on the left – he’s the Godfather.

Last week Jack also started singling out his favorite toys. In the top ten are a shoe:



and an old keyboard:



Here you can get an idea of how much he likes to bang the keyboard:



We also had lunch at Zoe’s last week. My mom tried to entertain Jack by showing him pictures on the wall. As you can see, he doesn’t really have an eye for art:



But he does like to hang out with Grandpa



He’s got a new trick this week. He can go from lying on his stomach to sitting up all by himself. I’ll try to get a picture of it today. We had to lower the crib down again just to be sure he doesn’t pitch over the side.
