Baby dedication and four month pics.






I'm finding the months going by more quickly than I realized they would! Her four month pics are so cute. The dress is her baby dedication dress. We had her dedicated at our church on May 16th. She received a card and a small pink bible with her name on it. We weren't members of a church when Hayden was born so we didn't have him dedicated, but I am thinking about asking if we can when they do the next one. It was very important to us to be able to stand in front of the church and say that we will raise her to believe in Him and do everything we can to guide her back to her Heavenly Father.

The pictures of her on the blanket are very special to me. Her grandma is a member of a knitting group. Several ladies in the group knitted a square and sent it to her. She then knit them all together into a blanket. The tags are little notes from each person with their names and well wishes. The squares have hearts, baby booties and the state of Texas. It is such a treasure to me. I didn't have anything like that growing up so it really made me cry when she gave it to me.

How beautiful!! (The baby AND the blanket :) That is wonderful that she will have something like that to pass down through generations. Those are the best kind of gifts.
