Marked Man

I am now a "marked man" but I mean this in a good way, today was my baptism at church. I was baptized at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Medina by Rev. Steve Best (the same guy who married Mommy and Daddy). It was a nice day, all my grandparents and even Uncle Josh and Aunt Loren were present and Papa Boogs and Nanny presented me as my Godparents.

I thought it was a bit odd that Mommy put me in a dress! But later she explained to me that it was a gown, not a dress and it was a special baptism gown that G and Papa Boogs got near the Vatican in Rome, Italy. I didn't spit up on it so all the other kids who get to wear it will be happy it doesn't smell like sour milk.

I was pretty happy through most of the mass because I thought I was going to get to take a bath in the little tub they had set up, but when it came to my turn Rev. Steve poured the water on my head instead and Rev. Jane rubbed a bunch of oil on my forehead. I was very unhappy with the whole thing and demanded afterwards that they take me to look at the stain glass windows. For some reason I find these windows very soothing and funny.

Christmas in January!

So I think I'm a pro at this Christmas stuff now; I've attended 5 different Christmases this season. I must be the luckiest kid in the world to have 5 different Christmases.

This time we attended Christmas at G and Papa Boogs' house with Nanny, Aunt Loren, Uncle Josh and Aunt Charlotte. I got a lot of boring clothes, but that made Mommy happy, and some neat books (I love to read), some cool stuffed animals, which my current favorite is my monkey George and Papa Boogs picked me out an awesome piano like table, it makes fun noies and has some spinning wheels on it that I like.

Mommy and Daddy got some new games for the Wii and some blu ray movies. I like those gifts because that means we get to hang out at home more. They also got some restaurant gift certificates. I guess those are okay too because that means I get to spend more time with G and Papa Boogs.

Mommy and Daddy told me that was the last Christmas but I don't know if I believe them or not. We've enjoyed our visit with Nanny here - she even stayed with me a few nights and read me stories. I'm glad she's just in Oklahoma now so we maybe we can visit her this summer.

Oh I also had a checkup at the doctor on January 7th. So for those of you keeping track here are my latest stats, I am currently weighing in at 20lbs 8 oz which puts me in the 80th percentile and my height is 28 inches so I'm in the 90th percentile. I guess overall I'm a big boy!
