The big thing for this week was puff’s baptism. Family (and my friend Michelle) came down from Queensland, and there was a lot of activity. Nonetheless, we managed to keep Puff to his routines pretty well, and so although he was tired at the end of the day a few times, he was still sleeping through the night quite well.
His latest trick is to get up early in the morning (4, 5, or 6) and have a quick feed, then go back to sleep for a while.
Here is a highly abbreviated version of the baptism: for me, the best part was the pre-amble, and the prayers that Puff would become a Christian: this is something that I pray with him each night before bed, so it was great to have a whole church praying it. I wasn’t expecting to feel as happy about having him baptised as I did: it was a good thing to do, I think.
His aunty chan decorated this cake: it looked fantastic. Sadly, it didn’t say “Puff”, so we’ve had to make some changes for the website.
Puff also had a go at opening his baptism presents: he now has a lot more books to read (and a few other things).
Not only did the cake look great, many people have commented that it was also delicious.
But it wasn’t all baptism and family gatherings this week: we had a chance to go back to eveleigh markets, where Dad even took a few photos with his fancy camera (instead of the usual compact digital)
Another highlight was testing out a new toy with the grandragon.
There were other family members who had a chance to spend some time with Puff: notably the great grandragon had a chance to spend some time with him on Monday. And Tuesday, Mum and Dad had (anti) whooping cough injections, to try and keep him healthy.
