It's my party

it's my party

Yes, I hosted my first party on Saturday because it was my Christening. I let Ella help but it was my day really. We went to the church where I was very good indeed. The priest poured water over my head. Some babies cry at this bit but I like getting my hair washed and the water wasn't that cold so I didn't. Mammy held me and then Uncle Jamie dried my hair afterwards. He's my godfather now and Auntie Emma is my fairy godmother. Daddy had to light a candle too. Ella helped him with that bit.

We had lots of friends and family there and afterwards we all went to a very strange place with a great big shiny table where everyone sat around and some men with funny hats on cooked some food and did a lot of tricking around. Mostly it was all adults but Caoimhe, Ronan, Alex and Grace were there too. And some of my aunties and cousins were missing - I'll have to go to see them soon. Everyone seemed to eat lots of food and have some fizzy drinks and some not fizzy ones. Then Ella cut my cake and gave everyone some of that too. And what did I get. Just milk. That's all I ever get.

When I last wrote here I had been sleeping for a long time at night. But now this tooth and this cold are annoying me and I'm feeling very hungry these days too so I've decided to go back to waking my mammy up at least once in the middle of the night for an extra feed and I grab some extra evening ones too when I can. It's good to keep her on her toes like that just when she thought I had settled into a routine of sleeping through the night or just having one dream feed.

Uncle Ross went to Kosovo today. He's going to work over there for 6 months so we'll all miss him and his spontaneous babysitting a lot. He's going to read my blog though... I mean our blog (sorry Ella)
