My baptism

As I suggested in a recent post, my baptism must have been coming up, and today's the day!


Mum and dad have been busy getting sweet things ready in the kitchen..

This has something to do with "fairies" but I don't get it. I'd much prefer a good old bottle of milk myself.





I'm not sure what these things are - mum calls them 'baby mudcakes'.

All I know is that they're going into a little cardboard box with a few other surprises - for each of my cousins.

OK, time to go to the church for my big event.

Here, we've just sat up the front... where everyone can see me. Mum took all my clothes off and wrapped me in a towel.

Dad explained that this is a good thing - but I wasn't so sure.









Next, they poured oil on me, which felt quite nice.

And then Monsignor kept telling jokes about Justin.









I'm not sure if Justin minded, but I did notice that most people laughed a lot.

Justin and Megan also got to light a candle with my name on it.

Finally, I got to sit on the altar, and everybody clapped. 

I think that meant I could have my milk soon.

 Yes, we finally got to go home for the party.

Here I am with my grannie Florinda from Perth, and Grandma Marlene from Melbourne.

They took turns to feed me, so my spoiling factor was at least 200%!

Here are some more photos from my baptism party, including my cousins Ashley and Lachlan from Melbourne.

They had fun in my coloured ball pit.

Well if baptisms are like my one, I'll have one each year please!

Thankyou everyone for travelling so far for my big day.
