Baby Blessing

I wrote about River's baby blessing almost two years ago and now it's time to write about Ocean's blessing.

We scheduled it for Labor Day weekend to make travel arrangements a bit easier for those coming long distances.

After trying to get some good photos of Ocean in his outfit, this was the best I managed

because this happened.

He wasn't thrilled with mommy. Though I did think that the pointing finger and slightly accusatory expression were funny.

Later that day I caught him looking solemn and serious

and then he got a little worried.

The onesie is from the GapKids site (on sale, with a coupon) and I made the pants and the little bow tie. We could have used River's outfit, but I wanted them to have their own outfits that they can keep and use for their own kids if they choose.

I pulled out the big camera for the group pictures, but had people who were unfamiliar with it take the pictures so the results aren't as in-focus as they could be. Should have just stuck with the camera phone.

And now we're a family of 5!
