Jadie's Baby Blessing

Jadie with Grandpa Jeff at our favorite pizza place-Benito's! Gotta love deep dish.
Jadie with three very important men in her life. Dad, Grandpa Jeff, and Uncle Wayne Tew.
Jadie with all the visitors that came to her blessing. Left to right: Wayne and Patrice Tew, Jeff Davis holding Jadie, Rusty and Megan Curtis.
Jadie with Grandpa Jeff again-he got some good smiles out of her. Note that her dress isn't actually on-which is why her arms are missing. She screamed with that dress on. Yes that does mean she was crying almost the whole blessing.

It wasn't all her fault though-she had her first shots a few days before and was still feeling awful. Add lots of strangers suddenly appearing and wanting to hold her often and an uncomfortable dress and you'll have a sad little girl and a stressed out mama.
Because I didn't get good pictures of our little bright eyes the day of...these are pictures I recently took. She was unhappy to be in the dress again, but we got some better pictures of her.
It was a wonderful event and we were so blessed to have Grandpa Jeff and Uncle Wayne there to be a part of the blessing. After the blessing we had several jabs about her crying. For example: "Well you didn't need to bless her lungs!"

After the blessing we had a delicious steak dinner together and took some pictures. It was a lovely weekend!

Thanks for posting these! She is so cute. Her hair is so dark.

I remember all three blessing days as stressful! Family-filled, spiritual, memorable... and stressful.

Congrats.
