Baptism, Football, and Legwarmers, Oh My

This is a random assortment of tidbits from the past week -- some significant and some not so much. Who am I kidding? Everything I post is extremely significant. This is MY child we're talking about here. So on with the pictures.

First of all, Mimi was baptised last Sunday, and we were so excited to have some of our family at church with us. It was a very special day as we were committing to our daughter to give her a strong Christian foundation (so the pressure is on since we did this in front of God and everybody)! Of course she was a little wiggle worm through the whole baptism with all her waving at the choir and trying to jump out of my arms to see her grandparents.

Since we had planned on doing this when she was about six months old, her baptism gown was a size 6 month, which still fit the Little Bit. She was not happy with the long gown, so we have no photos of her in it. This is one from the day, so I guess it will have to count!

These are her super-cute cousins JR and Olivia. Mimi is so crazy about them!

The day before the baptism my parents (Poppaw and Bebe) were so sweet to keep little Mimi and let us go to the Ole Miss game! So on to the legwarmers. Definitely the least amount of significance here but still a very important part of Mimi's toddlerhood -- therefore blogworthy. And the tie-dyed dress we found for her in Chicago is just an added bonus. I will add that what she is doing in the photo is some-what significant. She loves flipping through her photo albums and gets really excited when she recognizes someone (especially her Top or Poppaw. Those 2 guys cause some giggles).

Don't ask.

Well, okay, you can ask. Mimi has learned that if she stands on her head then we will pick up her back legs and flip her over. And she will not stand up until we flip her over. This can last for hours if we fail to notice her.

"Where's Mimi?"

"Oh, she's just standing on her head in the kitchen with her bottom in the air waiting on someone to flip her over."
