No joke, she might be harboring an otherworldly demon behind those chubby cheeks. Today was her Christening. We were very worried because it took place right smack dab in the middle of nap time and apparently the Catholic Church doesn't feel that my daughter's very delicate nap schedule warrants a time change for all the Baptisms in the congregation...whatever.
So we dress her up like a little princess bride and she looks sweet as pie, but about 30 seconds after we get into the church she starts wailing. She was so tired, but was so interested in everything around her that she wouldn't sleep...just cry and cry and cry. Andy had to walk around with her the entire ceremony until he finally got her to sleep.
About 5 minutes after she falls asleep we have to bring her to the font for them to pour water on her head. Yeah, that went over like a ton of bricks. Starts crying again. Andy got her back down, 5 minutes later they anoint her forehead with chrism...crying. Back to sleep. 5 minutes later some crazy bib thing we have to put over her head...crying. Such a nightmare.
So we drive around for an hour with her because she falls asleep in the car seat. We get into the restaurant and she sleeps about another 30 minutes, so I'm thinking "Sweet" she'll be in a good mood. Which she was for about an hour and a half and then she just got so annoyed of being passed around like a hot potato, that I just took her outside and walked with her. Then my mom came to relieve me and my aunt to relieve her until at 6:00 I finally admitted defeat and took her home missing the last hour of the party.
She was so tired. I put her in a quick bath, in her jammies, and then bottle. She usually falls asleep when drinking her bottle but she was so overtired at this point that it took about 15 minutes of rocking to get her down. Poor kid. So here are some shots of her special day.

Awwww! She's not a demon! She is so cute! Our girl's we're baptized in the Catholic church too, and THANKFULLY they we're both sleeping the entire time. Congrats to her!
Well at least it's a day you won't forget! Lol. Isn't it crazy how babies stay awake when they are overtired. I would've left early too. Although, I'll admit it's nice (for me at least) to have an excuse to leave family functions early.
It's completely known in Baby World that one must act accordingly on such special occasions...
to cry like the little baby she is. After all, when you dress up like a Princess you have to play the part!
She is gorgeous!! xx
That is one beautiful li'l demon. But she was overtired, poor little girl.
Hi I just stopped by to say you have a really cute blog!
Congratulations on your daughter's Christening! I wouldn't say that she's a demon child, just uncomfortable.
