Blessing Day

Beckett's blessing day started bright and early. Actually more like dark and early. Beckett was wide awake at 5 am. I guess it was all the anticipation.

Church starts for us at 9 am, so we certainly had plenty of time to get ready.


By the time we got to church Beckett was really tired. He had refused to sleep at all between 5 and 9. And, of course, that meant Beckett was cranky. He was finally just falling asleep when it was time for the blessing, and so he complained through the whole thing, but he sure looked cute.


Here he is with all the people that came for his big day.

Later that night everyone came over for dinner. Beckett showed off for his Uncle Aaron with some big grins and some good standing--something he's loved to do since he was 5 weeks old.


Thanks everyone for making the trip out to see our big baby.

Bryce follows the same routine almost every Sunday...wake up super early, refuse to nap, and then become very cranky for the entire 3 hours of church. It's fun. ;)
Anyway, I can't believe how big Beckett is getting! He is adorable! I love his little green outfit!

That was fun to see all of your pictures. I still can't believe Nate is a dad!! Did you guys plan the green color coordination?

Congrats on having such a cute, perfect first baby.
