Hi Papa,

I guess my post didn’t go through on the day of your baptism.
Yesterday was your baptism day and it was special. You slept good, woke up like you do everyday with a smile and we’re your happy little self. My sister was the first one to see you all dressed up at the church  and I wasn’t really all caught up into the whole moment until we went up and seen the father put water on you. You were good, you were calm and he put it on you 3 times and on the third one you looked over at me and mommy like is this okay and it hit me a little like damn Z isn’t a baby he’s almost 10 months, he’s a beautiful little angel.

*there’s the 1st and now my other post*

Anyways papa you were amazing you did such an amazing job and mommy and I were so happy. Papa we both got a little emotional your mommy more than I but it was weird and hard for me to express/explain. I think it’s cuz you’re growing so fast and it made me think about the week that you were in the NICU since you were an early baby and to see you now it’s a major trip. We didn’t know what was gonna a happen and I’d be lying  if I told you I wasn’t scared but I was like nope this is my boy and he’s gonna fight and you sure did. 3 lbs 13 oz of fight has grown into almost 20 pounds of love and joy with some fight in you.

Aite that was me going down how I was feeling. Z you looked amazing and had to be one of the cutest babies there, you had shoes on that eventually came off, you had socks on that also came off and when we took you up there with the father to pour the Holy water you were barefoot and as happy as can be  the father poured water on you 3 times and on the 3rd you looked at mommy and I  (I felt like you did) to kinda say is this okay and that’s when all of those emotions came to me. After that we took pictures and then it was a rap. You had a very cute outfit that we got for you when we went to see your great grandfather.
After the baptism we took pictures and you did well but you needed to eat and was hot so we cut everything a little short but we did have some good pictures of you.

After all of that we went to Aquis and got some appetizers since we had an hour in a half to kill. We got to spend some quality family time which was cool because we don’t always get to see one another and chill. Even though it was immediate family it felt good to have you spend time with your Gaitan family because they love you and don’t always get to spend time with you. After Aquis we went to the Table and had lunch there and just talked. I was really quiet but it was because I was taking everything in. Family is important Z and time is even more important because that’s something that you don’t get back. When you get older please take the time to listen and respect people’s time Z because you will learn that your time is valuable and you don’t have time to waste.

Okay Z I love you and thank you for being such a good son.

Mommy and Daddy love you!!
