Baptism

i know, i know... we waiting a long time for Noah's Baptism.  The time slipped away from us, all of a sudden it was Christmas, then Brian's parents were in florida for a couple months, the church does not do it during March because of lent... so April it was!

He was Baptized on Sunday at St. Justins in Toms River.  The only complaint we have is that it was really gloomy rainy weather, so all the preparations we did at my parents back yard to host the after party did not go to good use.

Highlights:

• I think we definitely had the most people come to watch at the church. I counted 9 rows of family and friends.  
• We replaced the buttons on his outfit so he was wearing a piece of the outfit that all of the other people in brians family also wore (including brian!)
• When we were standing up at the alter looking out at everyone Noah decided he wanted to wave... so all of a sudden 9 rows of people started smiling, waving back and making goofy faces.... the other parents must have thought we were nuts!
• He was great the whole time until it was time to get wet... then he cried.
• Once back at the house he took a hour and a half nap! Even with all the commotion going on downstairs!
