Loving on Aunt Diane

Here I am loving on my Godmother, Aunt Diane. She came to visit me this weekend, and we had three days of fun before Mom snapped these pics of us saying goodbye. Maybe if I'm lucky Mom and Dad will take me to Massachusetts to see her, Uncle Jeff and John someday! 

My Baptism

This weekend, I was baptized at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C. There were four other babies being baptized too, but everyone in the church is going to remember me. Why? Because I screamed the entire time. I've never cried so long or so hard in my whole, six-month-long life!

 

It was very hot in the church, and I hate being hot...so I let everyone know. They baptized all the babies in alphabetical order, so I went first. Mom and Dad thought that was great since they could make a quick exit from the church and cool me off... but, no. Going first meant we got to stand on the altar while all the other babies got baptized - which meant the whole church got to watch me scream while Mom and Dad, and my Godparents Aunt Diane and Uncle Jeff, tried everything to make it stop!

 

There was some humor in the day - Mr. Joey suggested that maybe I'm Jewish - ha! Maybe...

 

Kissing Cousins

...not like that. This weekend, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Diane and John came to visit me from Massachusetts. Here's John and me showing some cousin love. So sweet!

DJA!

Before Mom and Dad knew what I'd be named, they knew I'd be a "DJA," sharing my initials with Dad and Great Grandpa Alagno. Mom bought this outfit soon after she and Dad decided I'd be a DJA. She's so glad it's warm enough and I'm big enough to wear it now!

Big Smiles!

 This is Mom and Dad's favorite smile of mine - a big no-teeth, mouth-wide-open grin!

 

Carrots!

This week I started eating baby food. Carrots were first on the menu. I like them a lot and I'll eat them warm or cold. Let's just hope I like other vegetables this much!

More Laughing

Here's more video footage of my laugh. Mom and Dad say they never get tired of it. Apparently I'm ticklish and that makes me laugh. It's not nice to say, but farting also makes me laugh too. Go figure - what a boy!
