We were so honored to have most of Henry's family members' join this occasion. His godparents (Phoebe's UK Ah Mah & Ang Mo Kong) managed to arrive in time from London for this occasion.
The Baptism didn't happen until almost the end of the service and that apparently is Phoebe's nap time usually. She was really sleepy when we brought her to the front in preparation for the baptism. There wasn't any smile on her face at all. Then, when it was her turn to be baptized, Pastor Christopher sprinkled water on her hair and forehead, she started to smile widely. I think she thought that she's taking a bath, which she absolutely loves it. We thought it was funny.
May Yen and Quan Young is Phoebe's godparents. Coincidentally, baby Joel was also baptized that day at Trinity Methodist Church. They rushed to observe Phoebe's baptism but they missed it by 5 minutes. We want to thank both of them for being there, it meant a lot to us and for their thoughtful baptism gift as well.
I also baked cupcakes on Saturday and then decorated it on Sunday morning itself. This is the first cake I bake for Phoebe. :) When I was arranging the cupcakes on the board, I really can't keep all the Sunday School children's hand off it. I kept on finding I have missing cupcakes before I was complete. Luckily I decorated more cupcakes...
I bought her a white smocking white dress (smocking covered by her bib) for this occasion. I originally thought that the dress would be too big for her because it is supposed to be for 9-12 months babies. It turned out to fit her so well and she actually looked so adorable in dresses (1st time wearing a 'real' cotton dress). I should buy more of these dresses for her. :)Welcome to the Lord's family, Phoebe. Daddy & Mummy prays that you will grow up according to God's way and become a woman of God.
