Ceremony baby
A Ceremony Baby is a newborn who potentially may be a candidate for the Ceremony.
Humorous Origins
The concept of "ceremony babies" was first discussed by fans following release of the video She's Missing (May 9, 2007). It was speculated (as humor) that a woman apparently pushing a baby stroller in the background (at approximately :55 into the video), had a "Ceremony Baby," meaning a newborn chosen to do the ceremony in the future. It was further speculated (as humor) that if it was a Ceremony Baby, the so-called Homeless Watcher seen at 0:05 of Warwalking (Dec. 4, 2006) was the father. Similarly, when the cry of a baby was heard in My Dad Died Too (July 4, 2007), some joked about whether the cry belonged to a Ceremony Baby, other conjectured that the Ceremony Baby may in fact be a moonchild.
Subsquent Plot Developments
In Robbing the Cradle (Sept. 21, 2007), the first actual sighting of a real Ceremony Baby as part of the lonelygirl15 plot occurred. Subsequent videos developed the story line of potentially having Daniel and others try to rescue a Ceremony Baby from the Order. In Behind The Bushes (October 11, 2007), Daniel and Sarah refused to take part in Sonia's plan to kidnap a Ceremony Baby.
