Our long-time family friend, Deacon Dan Foley, came to the hospital last Friday afternoon, May 29, to baptize Camilla. Though she has been doing so well since birth, she does have a long way to go before she's out of the woods, so we wanted to do everything for her that we could. I can only imagine that she has the honor of being one of the world's smallest baptized Christians. It's hard to envision many others smaller than her!
It was a brief but beautiful ceremony. The nurses gave Deacon Dan a tiny pink plastic vial of sterile water, which he sprinkled over Camilla's head while saying the words of baptism. You can see the drops in the pictures below: they stayed beaded up on her head for some time.
