Keaton's Baptism

Keaton was baptized on Sunday. He was in a great mood most of the day and even made it through church with only a few difficult moments.

The hardest part of the whole gig was finding appropriate attire. I wasn't really sure what to get for him. I asked around and discovered that everybody does something a little different. I decided to go the traditional route and buy a white baptism suit. Thinking that it should be a good fit (not something he needs to grow into since he will only wear it once), I bought the 3-6 month suit on Tuesday evening. I tried it on him Thursday evening only to discover that it wouldn't even button around his neck. On Saturday night, I was frantically searching around Topeka for another outfit. I found a different white suit in 9-12 month size. I was sure it would fit.

That suit was stretched to it's limits! I was barely able to button it around his chest. Fortunately, he only had to wear it for roughly 2 hours. If you look closely at most of his baptism pictures, his tummy is hanging out because the top didn't quite meet the pants. We grow 'em big around the Martino house.
