We weren't planning on having her baptised so soon in fact it was supposed to happen on her first birthday when some of our relations could be in attendance but then Alex had to go to sea. Now not baptising her would not have worried me but with
Alex's faith he wanted to make sure her place in heaven was secure before he left. So we ended up having a quiet ceremony with just my good friend Zoe, her daughter Harmony and us in attendance. Bella was so good - she didn't even cry when the water was poured over her head. We'll still have her naming ceremony on her first birthday but now it won't have to be so formal.
