Michael's Beautiful Christening Day

Michael Giovanni's Christening Day

May 22, 2010

Our beautiful little boy was christened at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC by Father Chris. The christening was perfect! Father Chris spoke for a while on the importance of baptism and Ralph and my role as parents, christians and how we are expected to raise Michael. It was very powerful. It seemed Michael was listening so intently, he was watching Father Chris walk back and forth and was as quiet as a mouse...except when he was baptized with the water...he screamed his little heart out! After the christening, we all headed back home for a great party!

Godparents- Keith and Kim with our little guy!

What's going on in May?

Lp played on the grass with daddy! He had such a fun time!

The cutest little crocs!

Michael is sitting so well. He can sit for up to 20-30 min, starting to reach out of his support base and is strong enough to pick up all toys, including the red truck and put them in his mouth!

So, my mommy and me group leader spoke about removing the bumpers soon.. the next night, our little guy decided to pull his bumper off the crib,

actually found him under it..had to get the picture

so...he lost the bumper that night!

Such a big boy...holding his bottle now!
