3 months ago today

It's been 3 months since I was born! That's a quarter of my first year - gone by in a flash. I'll be driving soon if things keep going by at this rate! I have mastered a few new tricks in the last month. I am excellent at holding my head up and I am smiling like a crazy person. I'm still getting up for snacks at night, but I'm trying to stay asleep a little longer in between. One thing that I still can't stand is this whole "tummy time" obsession. Both my parents and my new friend Betsy keep making me lay there screaming at the carpet. No fun at all. Betsy is my new friend. She and I play together while Mommy goes somewhere all day. Its fine, but I sure do love the weekends when I get to spend all day with Mom & Dad. That's it for this month!

Holy Day

This past weekend Miss Lily took her first steps into the Catholic Church - well, I took the steps, but I was carrying her. Lily was baptized yesterday and the event was really nice. The priest centered the entire mass around her and made the day very special for both families. Nana, Opa, Uncle Stephen and Michelle came up from Dallas, and the entire Cribari & Maring Clans attended as well. Everyone went to a great party afterwards and spent a lot of time catching up. More pictures will follow (once Uncle Stephen e-mails them to me), but for now, here is a shot of the baby of the day.
