baby blessing

Baby blessings are different than baby christenings. In our church we believe that infants are born innocent and without sin so we don't sprinkle water on them. In baby blessings their baby's name is stated (and recorded in church records) and they are given blessings to help them as they grow up. Jason gave Trevor a beautiful blessing.

Here is the outfit I made Trevor. It was my first time doing pin-tucks (3 pin-tucks on each side, under vest), but I think they turned out well. (Oh yes, and thanks for the comments and emails with photography tips in my previous post- using a boppy really helped!) I also found some good tips here. If you know of any other good photography tutorials, please share!



There are buttons in the back, but its hard to button them with just one person... That is why the collar looks funny. But I love these pics though, fists tight, toes pointed... this is how he looks when he lets out a cute, happy squeal.

Since we live in the same ward as his cousin Alyson, who was born 3 weeks earlier, they actually had their baby blessings on the same Sunday. And we had a yummy waffle bar brunch afterwards.







And here are some pics of the two babies:
(they were actually holding hands for a brief second, before this pic was taken... too cute)
