Gabriel still smells like chrism from his baptism, and I love it! Too bad that Michael thinks the chrism makes Gabriel smell like body odor. 🙁
We had a beautiful baptism on Sunday. We bought Gabriel a little white outfit and little shoes with embroidered crosses on them. He looked absolutely angelic–and tan. I would describe my skin as an uncommonly fair, white porcelain color. Gabriel looks like a little Italian beach boy!
We prayed so hard that Gabriel would behave during the baptism–and guess what? Despite 5:30pm (the time of the baptism) being his most fussy time of day, he didn’t cry at all during the baptism! Talk about the hand of God being present! 🙂
Check out these great pictures from the baptism below!

Michael’s parents brought a real king cake all the way from New Orleans. Look what the baby looked like when we found him!

The grace-filled moment itself 🙂

Yeah! A new Saint!! Those are great pictures!
Gabriel is BEAUTIFUL. I bet it was a wonderfully blessed day. What a great memory and you have so many more to come with that sweet angel. Enjoy every minute, it goes by fast!
