Picky Eater

This past Sunday we finally had Justin baptized. He was great and actually wanted the Pastor to put more water on him. He wore my grandfather's baptism gown that is 94 years old. It has been worn by my mother and her siblings, many of my cousins, all of my siblings, nieces and nephews, and Lauren. It was very special for him to wear it also. It was great to have a lot of our family there to witness the blessed day.

Justin has also become a picky eater, in that he doesn't want to eat baby food. He instead wants to eat whatever we are eating, so I have been putting his portions in a blender and he loves it. He actually giggles while I am feeding him. He also loves my ice water, not the ice water in his sippy cup, but the exact same thing that is in mommy's cup. Just like Lauren, he knows what he wants. He has become quite quick at getting around and getting up. He pulls up on everything and is starting to hold on and walk around and along items like the couch and coffee tables. This also means he is in for a few more bumps and bruises when he falls over from his standing position. It is amazing how fast he is growing and learning!

Lauren has been sick today, running a fever. Hopefully she will feel much better soon. She is such a big girl and is trying to stay away from Justin so that she doesn't get him sick. Next week she starts back to school and will be in the "Stars" class. Several of her friends from church will be in her class so it should be a fun year. Pictures of her first day will be coming next week!
