Howie's Baptism with Photo Updates!!

Here is a picture update, which has been long in coming...
1. Mama, Papa, and Howie at Howie's BAPTISM!! Howie was baptized yesterday morning. We were so blessed to have members of Howie's fan club come to witness the baptism... my parents, Josh's parents, my grandma Fisher, my Aunt Martha, Marnie, Chris, and Josh's BFF Tommy. This was quite a party, starting with a pre-baptism dinner at the Pizza Joint, a post-baptism lunch at Goolsby's, and a cake brought all the way from our favorite bakery in Peoria!!! The BEST bakery in the world!! I requested that Mom and Dad bring a few goodies for Josh and me. Little did I know... my mom walked in on Saturday afternoon with 4 BOXES!!! WOOP!!! Needless to say, Josh and I may gain about 50 pounds before the contents of those boxes are gone, and may have some serious tooth rot, but the process will taste amazing. Howie's baptism was a wonderful blessing.
2. Mama, Howie, and Cake. Yum.

8. Howie lounging in the sink following a volcanic spit-up. It was so bad that we didn't take time to get his little tub out... just threw him in the sink. We discovered that at his size right now he fits like a glove!!
9. Howie looking good with a popped collar. He's already up on what's cool.
10. "Joke's on you, Mama!!"
11. Howie in his pajamas, lounging with Papa on a lazy morning.
12. Howie talking for the camera... it's too bad that there's no sound, because this is the face he makes when he's making some precious little noises.
13. Howie in his ducky bathrobe, getting ready for bed.
14. Josh and Howie... "Mama, alright already!! ENOUGH PICTURES!!"
