Lila's Baby Blessing

Isn't she beautiful?!!! Lila Sharon Johnson was blessed on Sunday, February 21st. It was a special day that I will always remember and tell Lila all about when she's older. Chris gave a wonderful blessing to Lila. He blessed her to have a strong testimony and love of the gospel, a good sense of humor, compassion for others, and many more wonderful things. Lila was as always, calm and easy going. She even waved to the congregation when Chris held her up to show her to everyone:) She's just so cute! Her Grandma (whom her middle name is after) and Grandpa Johnson were able to be here from Utah and my sister-in-law Shannon and her family came as well as our friend Josh from Sacramento.

After the blessing, Chris was holding her and this note was passed to us from his niece, Kiley. We were expecting a cute pic or something but then laughed when we saw this. So, of course we had to pass Lila around for the family to hold her. She only opened her eyes briefly to give a look of 'what are you doing and who has me now?"

I'm not sure why we didn't take one pic with everyone but we did take pics with everyone seperately. Here they are:

Afterwards, everyone came to our place for some food and to visit. Chris' parents adore Lila and wanted to hold her every chance they could and Lila loved it as well:)

This was her outfit under her blessing gown. It made me laugh so I thought I would share it with you.

Wish my family and the rest of Chris' family could have been there but they were with us in spirit. Miss and love you all:)

Put Your Hands Up!

Since birth baby Lila has found an interesting sleeping position to be her position of choice. Virtually every time we put her down, sooner or later, both arms creep up and rise up above her head. Lila has been nice enough to let us take shots of her while sleeping to capture her cute poses.

Shortly after birth.

Kissing her guns.

Not sure if this counts but I love the cat heads on her feet!

Finally, today's shot shows off her Valentine's Day outfit she strutted at church today. Ginny and I wonder if this trend will stick or if it's temporary. I can't imagine it being comfortable as she gets older. I've tried it, not that great...
