Peter was blessed on Sunday. He was so sweet. He just made his little dolphin sounds into the microphone as he tried to spit his binky out. Our friend Ete kept pushing the binky back in as Pete tried to push it out. It was a game. So cute!
Matt gave Peter a wonderful blessing. Matt was a bit nervous, ok, not a bit, a lot nervous all morning. This was his first baby blessing. But he did great and we felt the spirit strongly.
For those who have no clue as to what I am referring, in our church a baby is blessed and given a name by a priesthood holder, it can be the baby's father or another member of the church that is close to the family so long as he holds the priesthood. The priesthood is the power to act in God's name that is confered upon the men in our church. Only men who hold this priesthood can bless babies and perform other ordinances in the church. A baby blessing is when the baby is given his/her offical name as it will appear on the records of the church and then given a special blessing, each blessing unique to the baby being blessed.
Peter looked so cute in his white jumper.My parents came up from Virginia for the blessing and my Dad helped bless Peter. Matt's family came too and we were very grateful they came. Matt's sister Amy stayed for the whole thing and we were very grateful for her presence. We really felt her love. We didn't get many pictures but here is one before the blessing with me and my darling. We love him so much and are excited to help him have a happy life.
