Monkey in the Middle celebrated his First Holy Communion yesterday.
I know he’s mine and all, and I might be biased, but man, this kid is handsome.
He did a great job during the mass, and even allowed us to take a few pictures afterward.
(The kid does NOT enjoy being the center of attention. I was given a limit of how many pictures I could take, and he got final approval before any picture was posted here, on the blog.)
So, here are the approved shots:
My sweet, sweet monkeys.
Since I had to remind my cheesy, ham baby to smile for the camera, not at me, we took another try, this time with the grandparents. (Had to ration my allowable pictures wisely.)
ShopRite makes a mean cake!
And, here’s what happened when Real Man gave me his thoughts about how big the pieces of cake were, that I was cutting.
Last shot aside, it was a truly great day full of family, laughs and good times.
Looks like a great event. We are still working on the baptism for Parker – we’ll get there.

🙂 It really was a great day. Tiny even cooperated by sleeping through the whole thing. 🙂

that’s awesome. He looks so proud – I love the picture of you pointing to the camera. It’s actually perfect in the sense of it being “real”. Kids are great.

Thanks, Carla! He was very proud (though he’d never admit it!)

Love the pictures! I know this is about Monkey in the Middle, but I can’t help but thinking that Girl Monkey is looking entirely to grownup! When did that happen?

Overnight, Nic. It’s ridiculous. I woke up one morning and there she was…all grown-up and stuff. Too fast.

Thanks, Allison! They look so much bigger than in the pics from Tiny’s baptism which was only a year ago!

Why is it that we see it so much more when they’re in dress clothes?
