She looked beautiful in her all lace gown from my parents and her pink knit booties from Sheryl and Gary Turner - only my daughter would were funky footwear for a special occasion (I wore blue shoes to my wedding!). She looked absolutely gorgeous!! She did great in church and only woke up when the priest poured water on her head - no screaming or anything!! Lots of family and friends came to share in the special day with us - which means a lot to us.
It was great to see and visit with everyone too. We enjoyed spending time with all and had a great time seeing everyone's children (Kelly and Scott)- funny how a little over a year ago we were having a beer and wine party and now we are excited to see our children all together, see how big everyone has gotten and to hear about what they can all do! Guess that means we are all growing up!
One great thing was that both Matt and my families were all together - every member of each family, which doesn't happen much - at least not in my family. Scott, Sarah and Grace joined us and well as Andrew and his girlfriend - long drives for both, but so fun to see them!! We appreciate them making the drive!
Matt and I are both very honored to have such special people be Abigail's godparents. It means the world to us and we are so glad that Abigail has such great people in her life. My cousin Kelly and Matt's brother Adam are the godparents to our little girl. Thank you to both of you - words can not express our gratitude to you for playing this important role in our daughter's life.
The weekend was busy and fun - but it is always nice to get back to normal. Matt and I were both exhausted on Sunday afternoon, but are super excited for our upcoming weekend of.........wait for it,.......wait for it......NOTHING! We are staying home and as we joked "locking the doors so no one can come in!" We are ready for a weekend of just us and spending time as our little family. Don't get me wrong, we love all the company, but like all good things, we need a break. If you know anything about Matt and I, you will know that we will probably work in the basement and get lots of stuff done - but that is just how we roll!
Now for updates on Abigail, she is now 7 weeks old and growing fast. She smiles lots now, more so in the morning though. It is such a great feeling to see that smiling face in the morning - Love her to pieces! She is taking a bottle of breast milk like a champ and Matt has really enjoyed feeding her. Both grandmas have been able to feed her as well - which is really special. Not sure if it is a fluke or what, but Abigail has rolled over during tummy time a few times from her tummy to her back. Another first that happened this weekend was that she sat in her Bumbo seat for a few minutes - we know she is young, but she did great and loves to be upright so it was great. She still loves baths and splashing around with her feet. Her hair is still there and we think it is getting longer and thicker - it sure gets messy and wild after a bath - all over and curly!
Now onto the pictures from the baptism - enjoy and have a great week everyone!
