baptism and story time

We had a very busy weekend!  Charles was baptized on Sunday, so we had lots of house guests.  Mary and Austin flew up Thursday evening, and Bee Bee and Yates drove up on Friday.  They all stayed until Monday, and I think Charles really enjoyed seeing everyone.  He napped in everyone's arms at some point, and when he wasn't napping, he was showing off his rolling skills as well as his ability to get up on his knees in his first attempts at crawling,  He is not moving too far, but he does manage to inch himself forward a bit.

His attention is also strengthening.  At his baptism, we were in the first row, and Charles watched our priest intently as if listening to everything that was being said.  He was also very good during the actual baptism--no crying at all!

Today, he displayed his attention at story time.  He took his nap before the library, so he was awake when we got there.  I took him out of his carrier, and Charles sat on my lap watching the librarian very carefully as she read the stories.  When she got to Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do You Hear, the children were asked to participate and make the noises listed in the book: a lion's roar, an elephant's trumpet, etc.  Then the book told of the zoo keeper's whistle.  As the librarian whistled and the children tried to whistle, Charles jumped right in and started blowing raspberries!  He wanted to be a part of the storytime fun, too!
