i was born on august 21, 2009 at 3:40pm. i weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces and measured 21 inches. my mama had a hunch i’d be big, but not that big! • i was named after the great men in my family: henry is the name of my great-great-grandfather, henry wexner sr., my grand-uncle, henry wexner jr., and my uncle henry. thomas is the name of my lolo, tomas castro, and my uncle tom-tom. • i live in a crooked old house in los angeles with my mama & papa, who love me like mad.
20 December 2009
today was a big day for me. i got baptized, which basically means i was welcomed into the catholic church. the ceremony took place at st. monica church, the place where mama and papa got married. i wore a special white outfit for the occasion, complete with my first pair of shoes and a super soft blanket made by my lola.
there were about a dozen of us kids being baptized, so the church was packed with people. my posse alone included mama and papa, my guests included my lolo and lola, my bubbe who flew out from san antonio, my auntie alma and ate allyson, and my godparents, uncle miguel and auntie erlina. of course, i enjoyed myself and couldn't stop looking around and chatting throughout. everyone kept saying how well behaved i was. what can i say? I love a good crowd. afterward, we all went to buca di beppo to eat, celebrate and, in my case, nap.
