I've been doused!

helllloooooo to all. its been busy busy busy times around our house. last weekeend was my baptism! Grandma & Grandpa Hughes flew from Colorado and Grammy & Grandpa Kinninger flew from California to be there. I do love it when they come to spoil me :)

so the whole weekend went pretty well, only problem was I wasn't feeling great!!! the dr said I am working on getting my top 4 teeth, plus I had a cold with my first fever, plus I had to get my shots. on the bright side, I am no longer an outlier, well at least for weight (85%) and head circ (95%), still technically off the chart for height.

here is some pictures from the weekend, firstly, here's me with the 'rents:

Here's me with Grandma & Grandpa Hughes, got some nice nature in the background there...its the Notre Dame campus...

Here's me with Grammy & Grandpa Kinninger, thats the Log Chapel in the background, where I was baptized.

Here's me with my God parents, Uncle Steve and Dana!

And here's the big moment, doused by Fr. Greg. Fr. Greg was a buddy of my mommers when they were at ND together, he was ordained 2 years ago and lucky enough is teaching at ND this fall.

Here's a shot of everyone, Dana, Brain, Jen, Steve, Andrew, Reagan (being shy) ME!, dadders, mommers, and Lisa! post baptism, we headed over to for a celebratory baptismal tailgate, and of course then ND beat Michigan State!

and here's me showing off my Irish spirt with Grandpa...

Thats it from here, will try to be more diligent with the blog posts, the goal is one per week...

We have a winner....

and its sweet potatoes!!! why exactly did I have to suffer thru weeks of rice cereal attempts? why didn't they just start with sweet potatoes??? my parents also tried out some green beans, but I hacked that right back at'm. Stick with the yummy stuff folks. I still require some practice at eating, I tend to be a bit messy yet.....

Here's me sticking my tongue out, I love love love to stick my tongue out now!

Here's me being cute little angel baby....if my parents say otherwise, they are obviously misguided, I mean look at the proof in this picture!

Here's me and dadders back from a swim in the lake. check out those swim trunks, you might have seen them sported also by a celebrity kiddo in people magazine. Who knew I was already a trend setter.

Next week should be pretty exciting, both sets of my grandparents are flying into see me, as I am getting baptized and going tailgating afterward..... Go Irish!

Want to give a quick shout out to my cousin Nicholas who just celebrated a birthday, and also to Grandpa Hughes whose birthday is coming up :)
