Along with it being my very first Mother's Day and the day of Sully's first word, there was another big first. Sully was Christened today at Trinity United Methodist Church in Lancaster, SC.

I was so proud of my little fellow. He never made a single peep, not even when they sprinkled him with water. Of course, we've been practicing for that in the bathtub.

After the Christening, we had lunch at Adrienna & Gavin's house and Sully gave me a new Willow figurine for Mother's Day. It was nice to have mine & John's family together, united for such a special reason.

The whole day was sweet and perfect.
