Emma was baptized a couple of weeks ago at my family's church back home. After what seemed like a whirlwind of a morning (yes... these days getting everyone ready for church and brunch is our definition of whirlwind - my how things of changed!) we returned back to my parents' house exhausted. Just as we were getting ready to change Emma into something more comfy to wear for the afternoon, I realized I hadn't gotten any photos of her - just her by herself in her pretty outfit. Yes, I had gotten groups of family members holding her, us standing at the alter, closeups of the cinnamon rolls and whoopie pies, but somehow I forgot to take photos of her. Humph. Here is a series of shots I captured of the newly baptized baby laughing at her Dad. This is the good stuff. If I were tweeting this it'd have a tag like #InbetweenTheBigMoments.
This dress was made by my Grandma's sister, Erma for my Dad's Baptism 50+ (wink, wink...) years ago. My sister, her daughter Sam and I wore it also.
I love the hem lace detail on the bottom - so delicate and elegant. These booties were made by one of Mike's Mom's friends. They are amazing.

Emma is so precious beyond words. Congrats. The last pic is hillarious.. It's hard work being this charming - awhhh.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is wow! and those shoes- amazing!! SHE is gorgeous. Oh how I wish I had one that little again...but then again, I do love my full night's sleep! She looks like a preacher saying, "Now let us pray" in that last picture! too funny!
ReplyDeleteJenny, I love your blog and check it everyday. I want to tell you, I had some beautiful babies. I know a beautiful baby when I see one and that little Emma is a BEAUTIFUL baby! I always dressed my babies (boys and girl!) in sweet smocked and heirloom clothes. I taught smocking and french handsewing for years and love to see a baby dressed that way! I kept my babies in pastels for the first year and all white for the first 6 months. I bet her closet is full a beautiful things! now I own a monogramming business but they are too big for all of it! Congratulations to your family. God is good!
