Cooper's Baptism - Friday

On Friday, July 14th, I delivered Simon to his new abode in Wollongong to drop off his belongings, then took him to the University of Wollongong for a meeting with his supervisor. I left Simon and headed to Bendalong to join the family for Baby Cooper's Baptism on Saturday.

Baby Cooper and Kelly at Bendalong for Cooper's Baptism

Arriving at Bendalong it was time to check in and unpack. There wasn't much of the latter, given a two night stay. Then off to join the family, and just in time to see Cooper enjoying a bath by his mum Kelly.

The older children were, to greater or lesser extent, playing some video game - well, until I blinded them with the flash!

Ah, that's better mum - let a boy stretch on the bed.

Baby Cooper on the floor at Bendalong for his Baptism weekend

Ah, even better now - Cooper testing his strength (which is quite considerable for a 5 month old boy!) against this mobile. He is not yet able to roll over, but tries really hard, and makes it about half way.

Meanwhile, back in the big boys league, Glenn is slaving over the hot barbeque for us. Thanks, Glenn - much appreciated.

Flynn doing his shark impersonation at Bendalong for Cooper's Baptism

Flynn does his crocodile imitation - oh, scary big mouth!

Tynan Wallace doing his scary act at Bendalong for Cooper's Baptism

Meanwhile, Tynan does his monster imitation - I hope the monster and crocodile attack each other, and leave me alone!

And Flynn does his other crocodile imitation - the one where the hands form the crocodile's mouth, which is then "projected" onto a wall from a light. Not quite so scary.
