At last, my blessing day post is here! It was a great weekend filled with family, fun and sunshine. I know you’ve been waiting for the pictures to hit the presses, this oughta fill your much-needed fix…for today! 

Mommy finally got her sewing machine purring like Cheddar and opened the floodgates of her fabric creativity. First, she found a pattern from the 1950’s and got to work. Behold, the elegance!

I got spiffed up and pampered in preparation for my big day. Check out my “professionally” manicured nails!

My pedicure looks pretty good too. There is history sewn into this dress: The lace on it is from my Great Grandma Leatrice’s fabric stockpile. Only thing is, Leatrice never had any girls. So even though she passed 20 years ago, it looks like the lace was saved for me!

And the reveal! Peek-A-Boo!

Has Mommy mentioned that I am a happy baby?

Look Mommy, look! There’s some groupie love headed down the stairs to tell me how cute I look!

Have you had enough pics of me yet? I didn’t think so!

Aw shucks Mama, the photoshoot was easy. It’s the other kids’ loss if they don’t like their picture taken as much as I do. Let’s go meet my fans!

Brinley, are you looking at the camera? And smiling?! Does Mommy have to make you a new dress every time she needs you to pose?

That’s a sweet tie Drew. And you’re not looking too shabby yourself Rowan!

Drew tried to get Ro-dog to look at the camera but she would have none of it. The daffodils were far more interesting to look at.

Mommy actually succeeded at getting a nice pic of all four of us! I was exempt from looking at the camera, so instead I soaked up the sun and took a quick snooze.
