You already knew that though, right? This past Sunday little Ganache was blessed. (For those not of the LDS faith, a baby blessing is similar to a christening in that it is a naming ceremony but there is no baptism. We don’t believe in infant baptism, rather our children are baptized when they reach the age of accountability, eight.) Mr. Ferrero Rocher gave a beautiful blessing. When it comes to his family Mr. FR is a very tender hearted man!
These two pictures are the only ones we have of Ganache in his blessing outfit that day.
One of the drawbacks of formula is all the yellow spit-ups that occur! By the end of church his outfit needed to be washed. I plan on dressing him up in the next day or so to take pictures. It makes me chuckle every time I look at these pictures (the two above and the ones below). Ganache doesn’t look a thing like me or his big brother. . .
but he sure looks like Mr. Ferrero Rocher! The last one is my favorite of them looking at each other. As you can tell from the photos Ganache is chunking up quite nicely now. He has a definite double chin, though there aren’t any real rolls on his arms and legs yet.
Tomorrow our celebration on the family begins. I am so excited!! You certainly do not want to miss it. There are some wonderful guest posts scheduled and ready for you to read and ponder. Jaime, Shannon, and Jocelyn also have some terrific writers lined up for their blogs too. And for a little teaser, can I just say Shannon has some very well-known people lined up! (There’s three links there to click on)
Come celebrate the family with us. I hope to see you there!
Beautiful pictures! Having had to use formula for all of mine after the first few weeks(did you know that sometimes there is NO production?) I have some advice to offer. The mix/ powder versions do not result in yellowish stains, as do the pre-mixed versions. I also found that Similac showed less staining than did Enfamil. Of course, use what he needs and can tolerate. I had one that couldn’t eat Enfamil but could stomach Similac.
I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now and decided I should comment already! I love all the names you have related to chocolate for your family members but love yours the most {my real name is Coco} anywhos you have a beautiful family and I love all the photos and ideas you have here on your blog!
I love that last picture! So cute! I have a picture of our youngest with his daddy, the day after we came home from the hospital, nose to nose. So tender.
Yippee for a sweet Dad! I’m glad it was a great day!
BEAUTIFUL! And check out that baby’s chubbiness! So great;)
I just love your family photos! Wonderful! 🙂
I love all your pictures!! I am so excited for the Celebration to begin! (so excited I just did another post to remind everyone to check it out). Thank you so much for all you do to bring joy to the blog world. 🙂 Love you!!!!
LOVE the new photos! Isn’t it funny how as children grow they seem to look more like one parent or the other…then change! 🙂
My son was reading over my sholder and he saw that I clicked on Alex’s profile and said, “hey, that buy is on the I am a child of God message”. He is. 🙂 I love that my kids somehow make that connection. I am going to be so broke from buying all the stuff I can’t win! 🙂
Cute blessing outfit!
I am excited for the celebration to begin, and also to be a guest blogger! Bring it on!
Love the pictures. You have a sweet, beautiful family!
That is the most squeezy baby! Congratulations on a beautiful blessing day.
Oh, he is looking so chunky! That is wonderful. Blessing days are always my favorite. There is something so special about them.
I am LOVING that last picture! : ) The blessing outfit if beautiful and look forward to seeing the wonderful pictures you’ll take of Li’l Ganache in his outfit.
Your family is BEAUTIFUL!! Did I count 9 kids! *jealous!* 😉 We have two, and can’t have more but are hoping to adopt. Anyway, just had to remark about your beautiful family! I found your blog after your “gender is essential” post…it’s buzzing through the internet you know! 🙂 I’m now an avid reader!
