Alex was sort of fussing, but had settled and had JUST started to doze off when it was time to go up for the holy water. I didn't realize he was dozing (he was sitting on my lap facing out) so when I stood up, it startled him. He cried the rest of the ceremony!! I ended up nursing him towards the end and Father had to finish the blessings while Alex was under my nursing cover.

Here's Alex (sleeping) with Mommy, Daddy, Father, Godmother Natalie and Godfather Willie

Here are the two baptism candidates - Alex and Kyleigh, with their parents

Father could not do a Blessing of the Sick for Alex, since he's just a child (don't understand that one)so he blessed me, since I provide Alex's nourishment through my breast milk. Biju and my Aunt Tina, also my Godmother, put their hands on me as he prayed over me.

Father also blessed Jaime as she carries little Logan Louis in her womb. My brother, Jeff, stood behind.

Here's a snoozing Alex all ready to go!
