On Sunday, Sylvia was baptized at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Evanston. The church is right across the street from our condo, which made it easy when we were running late. Sylvia decided to hold off on her morning nap until twenty minutes before start time. So we actually had to wake her up. I still break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. As the saying goes, 'let sleeping babies lie.' Well, we woke her up and she did great.
She did lose her barrette in the holy water, but the priest fished it out for her. With all of the commotion she didn't fuss at all.
Afterwards everyone headed back to our place for lasagna and strawberry cake. Sylvia ate fruit, bread, 3 pieces of lasagna, and cake. Baptism will make you hungry.
Thanks to everyone for making it such a great weekend.
(I will post the baptism photos as soon as I get a chance.)
