Leah's First Sunday at Church

So although I have been going to church weekly, and had Leah baptized in July, I have been holding off on having Leah attend a weekend mass with me. All summer I was concerned about germs, and on top of that a little freaked out that she would have a tantrum and I would be "that" parent that everyone stares at and huffs towards. HA! However, my mom was down visiting this weekend, so I knew that I'd have reinforcements if needed. We got her dressed, packed the diaper bag and went off. She spent the first 10 minutes staring and everything and everyone. Then, without paci, fell fast asleep for about 20 minutes. I could not believe it! She woke up right before communion and so we walked her up with us, she got her blessing, and watched as mass came to a close. Unbelievable! I was such a proud mother! And, no longer afraid of being "that" parent someday, as there were many of "those" this day. =)
