Ava’s Christening

This past weekend was a busy, with grandparents (both sets) and Mo’s brother and his fiance in town for Ava’s baptism. Ava definitely got spoiled by all of the attention – she loved having even more people to entertain and smile at.

Let’s just say that Ava might be destined to be an entertainer. The priest was awesome – he even danced a bit to some of the music during mass. But leave to Ava to try to upstage him – after Father finished a prayer, she chimed in with the baby version of Amen – Father didn’t even miss a beat in agreeing with her. It was a great experience – having our family and friends there made it extra special.

Afterwards we had a brunch at the house for family and friends. It was a good chance to catch up with everyone – we had a lot of fun!
Ava’s talents – drinking her bottle and looking upside down at the neighbors.

After all that family and excitement, Ava was definitely worn out!
