Yesterday, Rebecca received her baby blessing, a custom for new additions in our church. Ryan gave her the blessing and it was beautiful!
I knit a lace shawl for her to use instead of a blanket (it is August, after all), and Rebecca wore the dress and bonnet that my mother made for me for my baby blessing (and my three sisters also wore it for their blessings):
What you can’t see in the picture: she’s also wearing booties that were my mother’s.
And while I was taking pictures of her in the dress, I was lucky enough to catch one of those rare sleep smiles:

Beautiful gown and shawl, and very precious baby.
Rebecca is beautiful. I love her name. And the gown is lovely.
Hey, she is so cute.
Good work mom!
She is absolutely precious! How wonderful that she could wear so many special hand-me-downs and the shawl you made is just gorgeous. Such a sweet sleep smile too! 🙂
So beautiful. I love the tradition of a family blessing dress. We have one too. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet, but hopefully one day I will. Come on, girl! 🙂
