Owen's Baptism

Last Sunday we had Owen baptized at church. It was such a wonderful day! Words cannot describe how incredible an experience it was for Tony and me to stand before our family and church body and dedicate our son to our Lord and Savior. He was baptized in a very special day gown that belonged to my grandfather. He looked absolutely precious! Afterwards, we had a brunch with our family and close friends at my parents' house. There he wore another very special day gown that my mom hand smocked and made just for him. He looked so adorable in both of them, but I think the one my mom made is my favorite :) It was also my mama's birthday and she was very sweet to share her special day with Owen. It was so fun to get together and celebrate both wonderful events! Hope you had a GREAT birthday mama, I love you so! Here are a few pictures of Owen's baptism as well as some other pictures I took of him in his special gowns.

It must have tasted pretty good because Owen tried to chew on it the whole time I was taking his picture!
