Blessed James

I don't know why I put myself through so much torture when it comes to making my children's blessing cloths.  It is probably because I have a set vision in mind of what they should look like and I can't have anything else.  I knew what I wanted for James but wasn't sure if I could make it but thankfully I was able to tweak another pattern and come up with this handsome outfit.
 
He is such a cute stylish little guy.  I think the cloths fit his personality perfectly.  Now I made the pants, bow tie, and suspenders.  The shirt and shoes were bought at different stores.
 
 A view of the back for the suspenders and the pants.  I love my little pockets that I made him.
 
 Sometimes he can be such a serious kid.  I am really happy with how the bow tie turned out since I had to make it even smaller than the pattern so it would fit him right.
 
 When I was pregnant with James I made this blessing blanket for him too.  I have done that for all of my kids because I think it is just something nice and extra special for them to have.
 
Just a close up of his shoes.  They fit him perfectly.  I love little baby feet.
 
The entire family together after the blessing.
 
I made sure we would all color coordinate so we could get a good family picture.  These two were the best we could get because we had some very tired and hungry kids.

 Seth is such a great big brother and loves to hold James.  This is one of those sweet moments I will cherish forever.
 
After the blessing and a large amount of pictures were taken we went home and had a nice lunch spread.
