Sorry it took me a while to post a blog about Liam's baptism party! But here it is!
If you remember, Liam wore a vintage Christening gown that is a 93-year-old family heirloom, worn by so many people in our family.
He also wore another family heirloom: a hand-sewn white sweater set, complete with a matching bonnet, blanket, and booties, each adorned with beautiful white ribbons.
But for the party that we threw after the ceremony, our handsome little boy would wear something else. His Grandmother Goddard got him an adorable pale blue outfit from the child's boutique
Janie and Jack, and his Grandmother Gorman gave him two handmade items to wear: blue and white baby booties and a bracelet (reminiscent of the one I wore in the hospital when I was born) that said, "God bless Liam."
We had the Baptism party at the same place that Mom had my baby shower this past Summer. The Udder Choice is this old-fashioned ice cream and sandwich shop that's inside an old barn. Here's some pictures from the day!

| Now a child of God, Liam was very happy to end his busy day and come home to the comfort and security of his little blue bassinet! |
