Ian's Blessing




Of course we would end up doing Ian's blessing on the night of daylight savings. It was hard to get up that morning and get there on time. We had Shan and Michael spend the night and everyone was over the day before for Ivie's bridal shower which went pretty well.
We got there on time and bishop announced that Eliot (my niece) would be blessed first, which made mom sweat it- cuz they weren't there yet. But they came before we had to change the order. During Eliot's blessing Ian pooped his pants. My dad blessed Eliot who is 8 months. Then Kev blessed Ian. His blessing was followed by my friend Amanda W's baby. Since Ian is 3 months and Amanda's baby 3 weeks Ian seemed very big. The hymn before the sacrament started and Kev was holding Ian still. He said "I think he pooped" and I told him that I know he did and grabbed my bag and took him out. There was poop EVERYWHERE. This guy is talented for knowing important dates, luckily I've been one step ahead of him. I had an extra outfit with me when Ian pooped through during Kips farewell and I had one after his blessing. Wow, I had to take every article of clothing off and could only save his socks, sweater and shoes. Ian had a bath in the sink of the mothers room and I spent the rest of the meeting in the mothers room nursing him and having a nice visit with Amanda's sister-in-law who was nursing her son - he was the same age as Ian!!
The pix are some we took quickly before we left for church. My biggest regret is that there isn't a pix of Eliot and Ian together.
