Tom was baptised weekend before last - it was really lovely. We had a friend priest we've known for years come and do it so dh could just be "dad" for the day, and lots of the parish turned up as well. Tom wore the gown that my mum bought years ago for dd3 (my first two girls weren't baptised til they were quite grown) so that was really special, and I wore her wedding rings too. Tom is the only one of my children she never got to meet.
My MIL made the most beautiful Christening cake.
Here's a photo of my lovely family around the font: can't see much of Tom though!!
Things are going really well here. Tom is on solid food, sort of. Some days he likes it other days he doesn't want it. He only has one meal a day, but it's great to have him eating up at the table with all of us! His sleep is just so much better. I am finally getting a good four or five straight hours sleep at night, and he's having good long day sleeps too. We basically concentrated really hard on making sure he settled in his own bed, and he's doing really well.
He's grabbing for everything now, people's faces especially! And he can sit up on his own for a few seconds now. He's charming the cotton socks off everyone and he is the most settled, happy baby I've ever had!
