Grams made a great lunch, but this trifle was what many of us were really looking forward to!

Leah played peakaboo with everyone.

Leah now loves to say (with force) "boh." It's said with a deeper voice and lasts a few seconds. It's quite hilarious. You can see a video of it here.

Molly assisted in pouring the water.

Leah did great! No tears, and she even gave some good smiles and clapped for everyone.

Grampa and G'Mom finished the baptism with some bell playing.

We were grateful that so much of our family could be with us for this special day.

Mom and baby.

A close up of the pretty girl!

Leah with Grams, the dress maker. The dress was made for Aunt Caroline's baptism.

And if you missed it, you can watch the video of Leah's baptism here.

One of Leah's favorite new words is "boh" usually accompanied with a long face (as you can see). It's hard to get on video, but here are a few examples of it.

ducking under the water,

zooming through the water,

and finally, some swimming in the water.

Emmie tried to give Leah a kiss, but Leah wasn't a big fan of that idea.

Silly Emmie!

Leah had a nice conversation with Grammy.

And then had a lot to say about her conversation with Grammy.

Molly and G'Mom created a masterpiece.

And all the girls had storytime with Uncle J.

Cousins are the best!

Stay tuned for more of our weekend adventures!

Leah was baptized Sunday, and we captured it for all of you to share that couldn't join us (and thanks to all who did make it).

Before heading over, we posed for a picture. Molly made sure that Leah was smiling.

Leah's doing a wonderful job modeling her new pillowcase dress. She's already learning to look just a little taller by standing on her tip-toes!

Some of Aunt Caroline's friends came to the party and played flashlight dance with Molly. Molly thought it was lots of fun, and didn't want to stop. This picture doesn't do it justice, though, so if you haven't already, make sure you check out the video.

I made red, white and blue chocolate dipped strawberries for the celebration. Molly liked them so much she even ate the stem! Guess we're doing a good job of convincing her that leafy vegetables are good.

You can spend a lot of money on toys, but often the simplest things can be the most fun for kids. Leah got a kick out of the packing materials from this box.

And if you're the sewing type, I ran across this video tutorial to make your own sling. I passed it on to a friend a few months ago and she's already made two. They look just like my Hotsling!
