Baptism Records in Parish Registers

I have come across a baptism (or christening) where it gives the date of the baptism followed by a note saying "received" and a date which is a few weeks later.

Can someone explain what is happening here? Is it that a child was "forgotten" to be baptized when younger? Or is there another possibility?

Thanks for any guidance.
