A New Table and Wrestling Around

 Luke LOVES to help Daddy fix things, here they are putting together our new table. 

 Adalyn approves! ;)

 The boys wrestling around with Daddy. Adalyn is amazed!

 Now what are you going to do? :) My Dad would always say that to us when we were little and my sister would say, "I'm gonna grrrooow!" 

 

4 Month Well Baby Check

Adalyn had her 4 month well baby check last week, a little late. She weighed 14 pounds 14 ounces which puts her in the 56th percentile for weight and measured 25.75" inches tall putting her in the 87th percentile for height. They commented on what a happy baby she is and she did a lot better with her shots this time; she thought about it before she cried a little. It took a lot out of her though and she slept most of the day yesterday. 

Adalyn's Baptism

 Adalyn is wearing the the baptismal gown that I wore for my baptism, made by my Grandma Judy.

Getting ready

A special necklace from her Godparents. 

Getting a blessing from Deacon Steve.

 Adalyn was asleep as we took her bonnet off so she was taken a little by surprise when the holy water was being poured on her head.  

Getting anointed with baptismal oil. 

Adalyn with her grandparents and great grandparents. 

Sadly, Grandma Joan was sick and couldn't be with us.

The grandparents got to bless the water Adalyn was baptized in. Luke blessed it too. :)

A special cake made my Great-Grandma Judy.

I think it looks like Adalyn is praying in this photo. 

Adalyn was baptized on Sunday. It was a special day but sometimes it seems like those special days get lost in the hustle and bustle of getting everybody and everything ready but there was a very special moment when I was holding Adalyn during the ceremony. I was thinking about what today meant for her as I held her tight and watched as the gentle snow fell outside and I felt calm and very blessed and I don't think I'll ever forget that sweet moment. 

May God bless you always our sweet baby girl!
