A Party Just for Casey


Yesterday was Casey was Christened at St Rose in front of many friends and family. Most of Mom-Mom's family, Ginny and her family, and Meema, Popple, Mindy and Peyton were there, and , of course, Caron and Dave. Casey was an angel as usual. He might have actually liked the water being poured over his head. Charlie was entertaining as usual. When he was baptized, he blew raspberries the whole time to get people to laugh (even at 6 months of age). This time he was mostly well behaved, but had to try to get a laugh out of the crowd by standing on the pew next to me and sticking his tongue out as if he were going to give me a big lick. He knows that I am the one that hates this the most. After the baptism, we came back to Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's house to have a party just for Casey.

Casey enjoyed sleeping through a good part of the festivities. When he finally woke up, he was adored by all. Charlie loved playing with all the kids...Peyton, Christopher, Morgan, Alyssa, and Will, Mark and Ava Easie. Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop went all out with the food... all of our bellies were stuffed... especially Wrigley's and Scooby's who chomped on brownies :(

Other than that, the past week has been really fun. Charlie is playing hard with his Diner and Thomas set... he picked out a few new parts. He still loves coffee and refuses to eat anything good for him. Horton Hears a Whoo and Kenny the Shark were the flicks of the week. Baseball is now being played with an imaginary ball but the Phillies batting helmet worn backwards and bat are still mandatory.

Casey has been really growing. At PT, he was on all fours for a long time! He is teething a lot and that is affecting his sleep. But, the good news is that he moved out of his chair and into a bassinette! He really loves playing with his hands and it is really cute to watch.

We are counting down the weeks until Blaine leaves for ST. Thankfully, we will be down there with him. Can't wait to see how Charlie acts at the field! Blaine moved our stuff into Great Pop's house to get ready for April. We are still keeping our fingers crossed....


PS I am officially 30 and feeling it! I hate birthdays, but love to celebrate them. On Friday the Neal's were so cute and threw a little party for me with balloons and all. Charlie and Casey loved to celebrate with me! I then was able to spend the night with friends. Jess and Linda hosted a sleepover for me Liz Jen and Susan. So much fun. Saturday we all drove up to Allentown to spend time with the Fam. Mom, Mindy and I went to see Bridewars and then went back to Mindy's house for a party. And what would a birthday Sunday be without shopping? 30 might now be so bad after all?
