Lucas was baptized on Sunday in the same church my husband and I were married in and by the same priest that married us! He was so well behaved but I doubted my little man would do so well. I think I brought along three bottles, every blankie and pacifier I could find, and musical toys even though the mass was only an hour long. I'm still nervous about being that mom with crying child. He proved me way wrong though and mostly slept through the entire mass.
Lucas was also dressed in style! When we got to my mom's house for lunch, we changed Lucas into a romper that my aunt/godmother had made for him and it was adorable! For the actual baptism, he wore a christening gown that is about 60 years old. My grandmother had it handmade in Spain for my uncles and my dad to wear for their baptisms. After they wore the gown, I was the first of the grandkids to wear it. I wore the gown as did my sisters and cousins. Now, Lucas is the first of the great-grandkids to wear the gown. For being 60 years old and worn by so many babies, the gown was in excellent condition. It was amazing to see my son wearing a gown that has so much history. Thankfully, there were no accidents from Lucas. I didn't want to be the first to literally christen the gown.
It was truly a special and blessed day.
