A Lull

Not only was this a relatively quiet week between your two-month celebration and your baptism. As you've learned by now we never go too long between festivities in thi family. But you also seemed to slow down physically. You've truly started to sleep straight through the night - often to your mother's discomfort in the mornings - and you've stretched out your feedings to every 4 hours or more. It's a good thing. You had been eating constantly and getting so chubby!! But now you seem to have stretched out and lost a lot of your tummy and one or two rolls around the neck.
You are fascinated with putting your two hands together, and often both of them in your mouth. It's getting harder and harder for me to take your picture because you are almost never still unless you are asleep, and even then you move yourself around the crib, wakng up in a different spot than you went down.
I spent every night during the week preparing food for your baptism party. We got the church programs ready and your Mom and Padrino Enrique worked on the cards. Your Tia Hilda arrived on Thursday and Maria and Israel were supposed to arrive on Friday, but their plane was forced to land in Jamaica due to mechanical problems and they didn't arrive until Saturday night - to leave again on Monday morning. Maria brought a whole suitcase of plates, napkens, plastic silverware, and the cross tokens for your baptism. Your Mom was up late putting the favors together. I finished up the food on Saturday, ironed your dress and the table cloths. We set up the house and then collapsed into bed. Tomorrow is the big day.
