Baptism - October 18, 2009

Fr. O'Brien Baptized Sarah last Sunday. We were fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends. Sarah cried the whole ceremony, except for when Father poured the water over her head. This is the part when most babies cry, but not Sarah. I think she thought it was bath time and calmed right down (she loves bath time). Once the water was done, she went back to crying! Uncle Mike and Aunt Catharine are also Sarah's Godparents. Because of Sarah's unhappiness during the ceremony, we didn't get many pictures. However, Jennifer Grayson has promised to get some pictures of Sarah in her dress at a later date and when she is in a better mood. Below are few that were taken by my Aunt Kay.

Thumb Sucker! Oh No!

Well, to my dismay, Sarah has discovered her thumb! I have tried to encourage her from early on to suck on a pacifier. My thought is that I can take away the pacifier whereas the thumb I cannot. I went on my first business trip after her birth two weeks ago and while I was gone she found her thumb. I will have to admit, it is kinda cute right now but I hope it she does not become too attached to it because it will not be cute in a couple of years. For now, she still takes the pacifier as well so hopefully it will not stick!

3 Months Old

Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I am back to work full speed and Sarah has started daycare. She is doing great and so am I (believe it or not). Everytime I pick her up, Ms Sharon tells me that she is the best baby! I have to agree. She is getting so big and giving many smiles these days. I am actually sitting in the airport taking my first trip away from her. I know she is in great hands with Daddy and NeeNee and Grampa but I miss her already. This is a little tougher than dropping her at daycare. Luckily it is only a one night trip and I will be home tomorrow to love on her! Sarah is really doing great. She has started sleeping throught the night. I put her down around 10pm and she sleeps until around 7:30am. I still have to wake up and pump around 2am or 3am but I can get that done and back to bed in about 2o minutes. Here are a few pics. I will post video when I get back in town.
