Liam's Baptism

My baby brother Liam was baptized last Sunday.  Baptism is when you stand up in front of the whole church and the pastor puts special water on your head.  It means that God loves you, and the church promises to help take care of you and teach you about God as you grow up.  I got baptized when I was a little baby, too.  Liam did a great job!  He didn't get grumpy about the water at all!  He did grab the pastor's hair a little bit, just like he does to Mommy.  Mommy and Daddy's friend Sara Hayden was visiting to preach at church that day, so she got to do Liam's baptism!  I was a little bit squirmy and after Mommy and Daddy said they wouldn't swing me by my arms, I decided to sit on the chancel steps (like I do every week at children's time) instead of standing up with my family.  I had a good view for the baptism that way, and I even got sprinkled with a little bit of the water!  Sara said that was probably good for me.  ;)

Waiting and listening

Time for the water

All done already!

We took some family pictures after.
