Noelle's Baptism

Noelle was baptized on August 27th. It was great because we were the only ones there and it wasn't part of a mass so we got a very personalized service. The only thing mommy forgot was Noelle's pacifier in the rush of leaving. Despite that, she didn't cry at all until we were taking pictures at the end and she was overtired.

Also, a big thanks to everyone who helped watch Brady during the ceremony, and to my dad and Glenn who took pictures for us :)

Here are pictures beforehand.



LOVE this picture!


This is the priest putting the oil on her chest


These are pictures by the baptismal font at the back of the church.

The priest is blessing the font





This photo is funny because Brady had a couple fake bugs in his hand. All of us kept holding our breath and thinking he was going to throw them in the baptismal font but he didn't.





Right before the priest pored the holy water on her head.


It's all over and not a peep!

And this is Noelle after the baptism... she literally pooped directly before and while the priest was poring holy water on her head.


Some family photos... and yes, we got Brady to stay still for a few!



But after two pictures, Brady was "all done"


I love this picture!

And here's where things start to get a little dicey


In desperate need of a nap and a pacifier...

Even mommy couldn't make her happy...
