We blessed Finn on July 29th, exactly eight weeks after he was born. In the past, we've always had Teag's mom make gowns for our girls, as it was something she was very talented at, and we liked that she would incorporate pieces from both families into the design. Obviously with Finn being a boy we knew we needed to take a different route, but both Teag and I didn't want to just go buy something for him to wear; we liked that sort of "heirloom" aspect.
My mom, who is an avid crocheter, had the idea of looking for some clothing patterns for boys that might make for a suitable blessing outfit. What she found was this:
It's so ridiculously adorable, I had to say yes. A tiny, hand-crocheted polo? Where's the tiny tennis racket? So my mom ordered the pattern and whipped it out in no time, after making some adjustments to better fit a baby body. Here it is on Finn:
He looked like such a stud for his special day, and we were very pleased with the end result. I swear this kid is so chubby, he doesn't even look like he has a neck. We love chubby babies!
Teag gave a very nice blessing, and then we all met at our house outside for a little brunch. We were excited to have so much of our family there, even a few who might regularly not have been able to attend, like Uncle Trevor.
Even Katie and Steve came, with all three triplets, to nine a.m. church; quite the impressive feat!
Thank you so much to everyone who made it, we greatly appreciate you making the effort on ours and little Finn's behalf!
