It turned out to be a beautiful bright Sunday, with puffy clouds hanging in the sky and us making it to Church on time. Even the 31 year old -stained with age- blessing suit decided to cooperate. It happily turned white after I saturated it with "Shout," rubbed my knuckles raw, and pleaded much on Saturday evening.The babe was bathed and dressed by his Papi early Sunday morning; and this is what truly sparked a Papi and baby connection that morning. Later, the beautiful blessing experience cemented the bond for eternity. Baby Hyrum Ether Hatch was still and well behaved during the entire blessing and the entire Church block actually.
After Church we mingled with Nana, Grampa, Ivy, Abuelita, and tia Caro. Boy did Nana (our photographer) have a fun time trying to catch a smile from Papi. He makes pictures fun to look at (eyes are always in a daze or in the middle of a blink, lips are puckered trying to hold in any escaping smirk, and the whole face and body try to pose as serious as possible). Nevertheless, his goofy, cute, lovable self still shines through regardless!
