Kaytlin's Baby Dedication

Last Sunday was Baby Dedication at church, and we were so excited about it. We have prayed for our little Kaytlin even before we knew we were ever pregnant. During the time I was pregnant, we continued to pray for her daily. Of course we prayed for her health and well being, but most importantly we prayed that one day she would come to know her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Baby dedication is truly more for the parents and family than it is for Kaytlin. Basically it is a ceremony saying that we will pray for, raise her and instruct her in the way of the Lord, and that one day we pray she will come to know and call upon her Savior as her own (because we cannot make that decision for her, she must make that decision on her own, which at that point she will be baptised).
As a parent of a baby, it is so comforting to know that not only do we have a wonderful family excited and willing to help us raise Kaytlin in this way, but we also have a fabulous church family that we love dearly who are also committed to this. Kaytlin... our sweet, precious little girl, we pray that you will some day know, depend on, and love Christ as your Lord and Savior!

Here we are on stage awaiting her name to be announced:


She slept through the entire ceremony:



Yes... that would be her first little blue box (AKA... her G-Pa spoiling her)


With Cousin Jenna, and she was meant to wear this little bonnet for the ceremony, but she was asleep and we could not get it on her... so she wore it for the luncheon we had afterwards :-) One day she will have it as her "something old" when she gets married (even though Jeremy still claims he is going to start the first Baptist Convent.. haha)


We love you precious Kaytlin!



The wording on her cake:
