Baptism

So Nicholas got Baptized this weekend. It took a lot of effort to get it all set up, but it really turned out to be a nice gathering of family for the special occasion.




All bundled up for the trip to the church. It snowed. Yep, in Texas.
OMG so cute in his baptism outfit. How handsome is that? Just like a little gentleman.



Godmother Aunt Cheri. Cuties.
Here he is being baptized. He didn't even budge when they poured the water over his head. Out of the 12 kids there the priest said he was the only one who didn't seem to mind getting a little wet, but I think its because he likes his baths so much.

Anointing of something. Sandlewood I think it was they had to put on his head. 3 days later and he still smells like it. At least he is cleansed of all original sin.

Here we are with the Godparents, Uncle Mark and Aunt Cheri. Thanks you guys for coming down to be here!

Great grandparents came too!


Great Maw-Maw came

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fun times this year. Went to my moms house. My brothers were all home and my grandparents came in from St. Louis to visit. Lots of love to spread with a new baby around. Here is some before dinner cuddling with POP.

Before Dinner cuddling with Uncle Mikey, so cute!

Hummmm.....do I want turkey or ham? Oooo or both.

Holding his head up

At 5 weeks old Nicholas is getting pretty good at holding his head up himself! He is def. getting bigger. He actually fits in his car seat. And he weighed in at 8.13 lbs at his 1 month appointment.
