Laurens Blessing Day

Today was Laurens blessing day. It was also her first Sunday at church. I was a little stressed as the day started, I was worried that she cry while Cory was blessing her, and i was also afraid she would barf all over her beautiful dress. She seems to do a big throw up(and i mean like projectile vomiting) every morning. Well, after we got up i fed her and burped her really good. No barf yet and time was running out so then Cory and Lauren took a bath together. I was hoping that maybe the bath would help, maybe relax her tummy. We arrived to church and everything was going good until Lauren started to cry during the opening prayer. About 10 seconds after the prayer ended they called Cory up to give the blessing. She was still crying. Cory was especially worried because he was afraid he would lose concentration and stumble over his words. As he began blessing her she stopped crying. Me and Jill would say it was the spirit that calmed her, Grandpa Ben would say it was because he was cuddling her and Uncle John would explain that she stopped crying because he put the Binky in her mouth. I still think it was the spirit. All and all no barf and not much crying. Woohoo! After the blessing Lauren did amazing. She was such a happy baby. Today was probably the best she has been. I think it is because she knew it was her special day.

She looks so beautiful in that little white dress and those big eyes. That sounds like almost exactly the experience we had with Madelyn's blessing. She is a special girl and those are some amazing blessings. Congratulations!

Hey guys, Ive tried calling a few times to say congratulations, but haven't gotten through. So, congrats! Sorry thats taken so long to get to. She is really beautiful. We always see babies with HUGE eyes in magazines, and Adrian thinks that they're run through photoshop to make their eyes look so big. I think that your baby's eyes are proof that real babies can have eyes that big. They're so huge and cute! She's a little magazine baby. So happy for you two. What's your address? You can email it to me at wenwaggoner@gmail.com or leave it on my blog. Love you guys - Wendy & Adrian

She looks adorable in her dress. I was nervous when Michael was blessed that he'd cry too. He didn't and he did so well. Glad Lauren didn't spit on her dress either. Beautiful family and beautiful blessing.

Why didn't she wear the dress you made? Just kidding, kind of. This dress is much prettier than the ones we made, I don't blame you at all. Congratulations!
