Happy Spring

Daniel is so much fun right now. He talks and imitates us all the time. Plus he can crawl all over the place. The best is his laugh - it is so infectious and fun. I find myself doing the silliest things to hear him laugh and he thinks Mommy is really funny (at least for now).

More Fun Pictures from the Baptism Reception

We got some great pics of Alex at the party with Greg! Plus Daniel loves smiling with Aunt Erica, Uncle Scott, Gram and Pop-pop.

Daniel's Baptism!

We have dreamed about our child's baptism for many years. It was more special than we ever could have imagined. Daniel is our forever blessing and now he has been welcomed into God's family.

We were very happy that Uncle Scott and Aunt Erica could join us from TX. Plus Daniel loved playing with them all weekend. Daniel says "Go Syracuse" for Uncle Scott.

Today was a very special day b/c Daniel was baptized at Trinity Presbyterian! We had so many friends and family join us for the church service and Pastor Stephen baptized Daniel. Daniel was so good during the ceremony and when the water was placed on his head! But then he wanted to head back to Mommy. We are so blessed by God on this amazing day. We pray that we raise Daniel to know God's love and to do his work.

Later in the afternoon we had a Reception back at our house with about 70 friends and family to celebrate with Daniel. We were so blessed by everyone who joined us for this special celebration. Daniel had fun playing with all the other kids. As you can see in the pictures Jennifer, Alex and Maia were a big hit with Daniel and everyone else (Daniel loves the ladies).

Thanks to everyone for joining us and for the special cards and gifts that Daniel, Michael and I will treasure forever. This would never have been such a happy occasion without such incredible friends and family and God's blessing.

Gram and Pop-pop Come for a Visit

Daniel was very happy to see his Gram and Pop-pop this evening! Daniel showed them how he can crawl all over and how he eats puffs. Plus Pop-pop played Peek-a-Boo with Daniel and Gram cuddled with him. Pop-pop read the Doggies and Dinosaurs books to Daniel before bed.

As you can see Daniel loves his bouncer and using all his toys as a teething ring! Our happy baby boy keeps making everyone smile. If you blow up the size of the top right picture you can see both of Daniel's front teeth.

Gram and Pop-pop got Daniel a prayer bear for his baptism this weekend. He loved to hear the prayer and wanted to know where the sound was coming from!
