Blessing day for my lil man D!

I like to think of a baby blessing day as the first of many special steps to this life in the gospel. While I know blessing a child is not a saving ordinance, it is however a gift to be able to bless a new baby with the preisthood at the start of their life. We as a family had a special day for our special little guy. 
Greg blessed D on April 13th. (My sisters birthday) I wanted it on a fast Sunday since it's the normal Sunday to do a blessing and because I love an opportunity to hear testimonies and especially to bare my testimony amongst my family. 
The day could have not gone any smoother. D was super happy and chill like his usual self. He was smiling throughout sacrament to me and "nana." He was so tired but he kept his eyes open to look around at everyone. I don't think he even made a peep other than a sweet coo at me accompanied with a big grin. G gave him a very wonderful blessing and the sprit was very strong. D has a great life in store for him.
Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of his smiling 
He did look like a stud in his outfit though!!
We had some food and mingling at our house after the meeting and I must stay it was a lot less stressful this go around in a more open and larger home. Our families are very very very large! I made sure to get a family picture snapped since we failed as parents at H's blessing. 
I love my growing family and adding baby D to our family has definitely enriched out lives. So thankful for my Savior who made our eternal family possible and also for my Heavenly Father for all the blessing he bestows upon my children, spouse and I.
