Blessed

I know, I know, he's only 12 days old. But, we blessed Miles on Sunday. My mom and dad came to see Miles for the first time, and Carol came as well. It seemed perfect to bless him then, and we don't usually wait long anyway! The first Fast Sunday after the baby is born is usually when we bless them, no matter what! And Miles was no exception. I did, however, think he was going to be born a lot earlier in January! I had bought his blessing outfit in a newborn size months ago, thinking he was going to be early and small. I had no idea that he would be late and NINE POUNDS at birth! But just in case, I did buy the 3 month size outfit, too. And, he wore the 3 month size...at 12 days old! He's my chunker for sure! 

It was really nice to have my parents there and Adam's mom. Adam's cousin, Jared, who lives in Santa Monica came as well, along with his friend Adam, who he has known for years and who lives in Redondo Beach. Adam gave a wonderful blessing to Baby Miles, as usual. And I was able to listen to every word. There was no lapel microphone to malfunction or no screaming two year old to ruin the blessing! ;-) 

 I am very blessed to be Miles' mom. He is a perfect addition to our family. In his short time here with us, I can't even imagine life without him.
