Getting Dunked!

Last weekend was a busy one. Not only did Hannah experience her very first Halloween, she was baptized as well! Her baptism was at Christ the King Lutheran Church (where her mom and dad were married). She was a very good girl, and didn't mind the dunking. She did want to tell a few stories to the congregation, though, while she had their attention. A special thanks to all our friends and family who endured a rather strange and very long service, as her baptism coincided with the All Saint's Day celebration (there was chanting and lighting of candles for all the parishoners baptized and passed away in the past year).

Hannah wore her great-great grandpa Bill's baptism gown. He was baptized in it in 1906, and her mother was also baptized in it in 1981.

On a developmental note: Hannah has been loving sitting in her high chair lately. She is a little bookworm! She loves reading all books, but is especially infatuated with a particular bathtime book with a cow that goes "Moo, moo!"
She has also discovered her toes! The toe-grab is pretty much her favorite hang-out position nowadays.
