Parker's Baptism

Once again, sorry it has taken so long for me to get these pics up and blog about Parker's baptism earlier this month, but Karl just got back from a week long trip and I rarely had a minute to myself when he was gone! Parker has been doing so many new things recently and is just so much fun to be around and play with! He has recently started sleeping from about 9 pm-7 am (roughly) each night, has been rolling over for about a month now, has been "boot-scooting" around the floor- basically crawling without using his hands!, and is obsessed with Sesame Street and Baby Einstein and will watch them in their entirety! I can't believe how fast he is growing up!
.
On November 2, Parker was baptized in Virginia- he's official now! We were so excited to have so many friends and family there to help celebrate in such a memorable part of Parker's life.

Parker and I before heading over to the church.
Getting dressed into his Christening gown- his gown was 96 years old- worn by all the first males in Karl's family (his grandfather in 1912, his father, himself, and now Parker)! He looked so cute!
Parker did not enjoy this part of his Baptism.
This is such a sweet pic- his godmother, Jean Gardner, was trying to get Parker to calm down and his godfather, Chris Gardner, was letting Parker hang onto his finger for comfort...awwww.
Our families at the Baptism.

After the Baptism at my parents house- Parker with Grandpa Schlegel. My mom hosted an amazing lunch after the service- thanks again mom!

Thanks again to everyone who made Parker's Baptism so special!
