November: Baptism

Hello faithful readers! Many apologies for the long silence. Mama's been on my case for literally months now to update my blog, but I've just been so busy! Anyway, here are a few highlights of a very full month:

Baptism
As you can tell from the title, I got dunked this month. Well, not really dunked--more like spritzed. It was on November 26 and lots and lots of family were there with me. The whole nation, in fact, seemed to prepare for my baptism by consuming lots of turkey and stuffing. How nice of them (even though I still don't understand the connection). I prepared by impersonating a nun (my Boston relatives are responsible for that one!) and my first bowling expedition.

Other cool stuff
On November 14 I crawled across house from one end to the other, all by myself. On Nov 15 I was introduced to apple and pumpkin and a few days later to hard boiled egg yolk (which I have since decided is icky). My sleeping/waking schedule looks like this: up at 6:30. First nap at 9. Second nap at 2. Down by 7. Or at least that's what Mama and Papa try to do with me. On Nov 20, Mama found me for the first time standing in my own crib (now I do that all the time!). And finally, Papa introduced me to a soccer ball. Mmm tasty.
