Elijah's Dedication

On August 7, Bryan and I dedicated Elijah at True North Community Church. Thank you to friends and family who attended. For those of you who weren't able to attend, here are some pictures and a short video of the ceremony from the day.

Our family. <3

I love the way he looks up at me. 

Friends and family.

365 days later, I traded my bouquet for our baby.

Elijah's Dedication Video:

Elijah was so good during the whole church service. It wasn't until it was time for his dedication that he was unhappy. He cried during the whole thing and all of the pictures. I guess I can't expect him to be happy all of the time.

After the dedication service, we went back to my parents' house for lunch.

All of that crying during his dedication tuckered him out. :)

Now, here comes an onslaught of pictures of Elijah on my parents' couch. I love all of his different faces and poses. He melts my heart.

Daddy is so funny!

Can someone just hold me already? ;)

That smile though.

Teehee.

So handsome.
