P.S. My baby chose to starve instead of taking a bottle! *Sob* The guilt is killing me. I didn't take any pills. I am doing well. But who turned the cold weather back on? I am ready for some warm days and sunshine -it was 43F saturday and raining!

Your baby boy is adorable and so are you-(no more guilt, please)It's cold here in SLO- what the heck is going on?

No guilt allowed, Angie. You deserve a day away, considering all the work you do!

Steven is still adorable and looks fabulous in his christening gown. How wonderful that they had one to pass down - and to think that one day his son may wear it too.....AW.

How gorgeous is this baby, and how lovely that he carries the name of his father and father's father etc. May he bring you many blessings.

Here from Glamorouse. (Great job on their template, btw!)

BLESS. How divine.

And check the guilt at the door because well, I bet he had a big drink from you and moved on.

The Christening gown is lovely. It is very close looking to the one my grandmother had that my daughter wore parts of. My grandmother wore it my mother wore it. So it's going back at least 67 years. I however was too big for it when I got baptised. But parts of it fit Megan and she wore it too along with the christening gown I wore.

Very special indeed.

Sorry to hear the wee one refused once again to take the bottle. I know what it's like my Connor did that too. If it hadn't been for my mom who has the patience of a saint with infants.... he probably would STILL be on the breast. hahah well not really he's 4 but you know what I mean.

Best of luck to you all with that I'll be thinking of ya!

What a beautiful gown! We have one that has been passed down as well. It looks like it going to crack it's so thin and delicate.

I've been thinking about you. I hope the pain isn't too bad!!

What and ANGEL! And how blessed you are, despite the dental pain!

He is so gorgeous in that gown! But the funny thing is, he STILL looks like a boy! Love the gown, and the legacy.

He's just so beautiful and beatific in that gown and cap.

And as for you, you need to give up guilt for Lent.

Raehan said:

He looks quite pleased with hiimself in that gown.

Very sweet.

'dorable, totally 'dorable! makes me wish I'd christened my little heathens...

Gorgeous! He's an angel.

D said:

Ang, he's so beautiful. And what a cherished gift to have him in that gown. That heritage can help him sort out who he is when he starts questioning as a teen. Sweet sweet sweet...

We have a gown that's been handed down, too, and somewhere along the way someone started embroidreing the names of all the babies who have worn it on the slip. It makes it even more special.

Great pictures!

two less teeth to worry about- glad that's behind you. I loved the day my children were christened- they also wore a gown that had been passed down through the family as well as a tiny pair of the softest white leather baby shoes. On the soles are the names/dates of all the babies before them. This is another delightful series of photos, Angie.
P.S. I have a plant that is thriving and has lots of new growth- reminded me of you today!

Angie, in ref. to your comment about smoking; my advice would be to pray that you will have the strength to withstand the cravings. Think of your children, in that they need good health and they also need you to be around for a long time. Don't take a chance on COPD or cancer.

Absolutely gorgeous christening gown. What a handsome boy he is.
