Baptism?

Angelic, isn't she?

As a matter of fact, in keeping with her angelic demeanor, we have discovered that Alexis has a special gift:

The gift of christening.

In order to ensure that Marcus and I were truly anointed her parents, Alex first christened me yesterday as I was changing her -- both by bestowing me with a bit more of what she had already gifted me in her little diaper, as well as spraying me generously with her ... ahem ... "holy waters."

Then, early this morning, as Marcus got up to change her, she must have christened him with the same, because I heard him call out, "No! No! No!" in an apparent fit of ecstacy.

And finally, today, as she was sitting on Marcus' lap, she christened him with a little more of her holy waters -- in a way that allowed Marcus to proudly display her gift on the fly of his trousers, for all our dinner companions to behold.

And each time, I swear she did this:

And she looked at what she had done. And it was good.

Congratulations... now that Alex has officially baptised you both as Mummy & Daddy. Just wait until she baptises you, not with Holy Waters, but with Holy Poo. Words can't describe.

This is a fantastic idea (one I will boldly steal from you when it's my turn :-D). I just love this picture! She is such a cutie!
