I’ve been meaning to post about little Hannah’s baptism since it occurred… back on August 4th.
But I’m a terrible mother. I guess moving kind of pushed everything back by about a month.
Okay, a month and a half.
In any case, if you are at all familiar with our church, you know that getting baptized is kind of a big deal. Most littles get a new white frock of some sort or other to celebrate the occasion, and I really wanted Hannah’s to be just right for her.
You see, she’s one of those sweet angelic little girls, and I wanted her dress to somehow capture her darling personality.
After months of searching I happened upon this precious little off-white dress from Mini Boden. Antiqued crochet overlay, covered buttons down the back, a separate petticoat, and a blue sash to match her eyes; it was made for Hannah. I was smitten. Incidentally, so was she…
The day of her baptism was one of the sweetest I have ever experienced. Next to her birth, I can’t remember a more meaningful moment with her. And the look of absolute joy on her face in that moment is something I’ll never forget.
My sweet, sweet girl.
One of the worst parts about being a mother is watching your littles grow bigger and feeling like you are too quickly losing them. Each stage seems more fleeting than the last and I often wish I could wrap them up and keep them, at least for a little longer.
If I could, I would wrap her up and keep her just as she is now.
Until then, this will have to do…
dress found here.
You should check her out, she’s amazing.

oh that mini boden! i don’t have littles of my own to shop for yet, but my sister’s kids have quite a wardrobe full of mini boden. so adorable. she looks so cute.
Beautiful dress. I know what you mean about your kids growing up so fast. We are ended a very long week of firsts. My son started preschool last thursday but is finally in for 2.5 hrs today. I still can’t believe he is almost 3.5 yrs old. I”m trying to enjoy these moments because I know before I blink an eye, he will be 13.

It is one of life’s harshest realities that your babies won’t be babies for long. You will always wish you had more time or ate more ice creams or stayed up late reading with them. Savor this sweet little one best you can.
