Jackson's Baby Blessing

Yesterday we had cute Jackson blessed at church. As Mormons we give infants a blessing instead of baptism (we don't baptize people until they're at least 8 years old).
Scott's parents came out for the weekend and then my local family came over for the afternoon.
Jake, Rushton, Melissa, Hailey, my mom and dad, Scott, me, Jackson, Scott's mom and dad.

Same as above except my aunt Cindy and uncle Gary.

Picture with the grandparents.

Our happy little family.

Jackson was a perfect baby during the blessing. Last week he pooped all over his cute train shirt so I was worried that would happen again this week. We even drove to the church with him in pajamas so there would be minimal time for him to poop in the outfit! Also, he was going to be hungry around 1:15 which is exactly when the blessing was going to take place. We brought some milk and had him chug it during the beginning of church so he wouldn't cry out of hunger. Our last plan to keep him happy was that I gave Jake the pacifier in case he started to make noise. Apparently it came in handy! 

The blessing was so nice and we topped of the afternoon with a nice dinner at my parents before everyone headed home. We're so glad so much family came to celebrate with Jackson and know that those who couldn't make it wish they were here instead!

We love our cute baby!
