Brynlee was blessed on January 2, 2011 at our church. John blessed her and did a great job. It was very nice to have our family and friends there with us that day. Brynlee looked beautiful in her white dress. Right before we left for church John told Brynlee to cooperate and sleep during the blessing if possible. She smiled at him and we laughed. But she did just that- slept during the blessing and not much after that. It was nice she cooperated and was quiet (and didn't puke all over the dress). I was also happy that her face cleared up quite a bit that day. She had the newborn rash/baby acne/blessing rash (whatever you want to call it) for several weeks.
I originally wanted the dress I was blessed in to be altered and lengthened so Brynlee could wear it (and look like it's from 2011, not 1982). My co-worker wanted to make the dress, but couldn't get it to work using my dress, so was going to make a new one. She ended up getting really sick and couldn't finish it on time. So the day before the blessing I was left to find a dress. My sister and law and cousins all offered to let me borrow their daughter's dresses, so it worked out okay.
Next time John's mom will make the blessing outfit.
We sat her in the corner of the couch just so we could get a few pictures. She seemed to enjoy it and stayed there for a while.
