Baptized!

So Sunday our little Mabel got baptized and then, more importantly, we had a party at our house where all my cousins and friends came over.

The day started out with Mabel doing her new thing in the Bumpo chair, which is fun because now she can sit up at the table with us when we eat.
(Note: Check out to Mabel's left, on the wall, that is basically the wall that is right next to my seat at the table. Apparently the wall is my canvas and food is my paintbrush)

Then we went up to Mom and Dad's room and Mabel did a little pre-baptism photo shoot. It's kind of like a walk on the red carpet except she can't walk and there was no red carpet, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Here's Mabel in Mom's Grandpa Henry's baptism gown, which is over 100 years old. During the ceremony, Mabel pulled a fast one on the priest; he went to put the oil on her forehead and she sneezed really hard and blew it all over him. After three and a half months, the little joker in her came out - it was a really sweet move.
Oh, not many pics of me at the post-party because I was all over the place, running around in the park out front, the whole bit. However, this is what "too many cupcakes" looks like, if you're wondering.
