Trip to Newport Beach, CA
Right around Camilla's first birthday, Bill had a 2 week trip to Newport Beach, CA for work. Since Memorial Day was the middle weekend of the trip, Camilla and I flew out to join him for a long weekend while Eva stayed with Noni and Pug. During that weekend, Camilla began standing up by herself--a big accomplishment for her, since she was just 9 months old adjusted.

Rite of Welcoming
Camilla was baptized in the hospital, but when that is done, it is only the bare minimum of the rite: sprinkling with water and the words of baptism. The rest is saved to be celebrated in a church as a way of acknowledging her and welcoming her into the church publicly as part of the family of God. Deacon Dan Foley, the same one who baptized Camilla in the hospital just 3 days after she was born, was the one who celebrated this rite at Christ the King on the Sunday after Christmas. My brother Charlie (home from grad school in Miami) and sister Claire (home from New York City) are her godparents and were there with us.
Look at these chubby cheeks! For comparison, go back and compare the pictures of Camilla at her baptism just a few days after she was born. She's come a LONG way!
