Mama's Dress

Leilah was suppose to get dedicate this month but we had to push it back because she was sick. This is her in my Christening Dress.

SYNIAH (Not a very formal picture.)  

MAMA

I really hope she still fits in it when the time comes for her to get dedicated. I am not counting on it though. She will be 9 months by then. Niah wasn't able to get dedicated in it because it didn't fit her. She was also 9 months, but I really hope at least Leilah can. It's so special to see your daughter in something that you wore as a child. If anything at least I took some pictures of them in it. I am so blessed to have daughters. I am such a sentimental person and I think sharing special things like a dress or dolls that I had as a little girl are special between my Daughters and I. I don't think a boy would enjoy having his mom's doll handed down to him :)

(I look so much like Leilah in this picture, she looks a lot like me when I was a baby even when she is crying)

My Mom, Godparents and I

When choosing Niah and Leilah's Godparents we were sure to choose people who would always be there for the girls. Who would guide them and love them unconditionally. I don't remember my Godparents. They were never involved. I have pictures of these people but never had a relationship with them. I think to be a child's Godparent is such an honor and such a special job. We choose people who will show them God love and be involved in all their special milestones. We wanted Niah to have 3 fairy Godmothers. We knew right away who they would be and asked them when they came to see Syniah the day she was born. We knew these 3 would love Syniah like crazy. Tanya, Karen and Stephanie are Niah's Nina's. They have been my best friends for many years. They love Niah so much and she is so lucky to have them.  Leilah's Godparents are top secret because we haven't told them yet but they are also people who have loved Leilah since before she was born. Ervin is Lucky enough to have a relationship with his Nina and that is a very special thing. I hope our girls will always have a relationship with their Godparents.

 Nina Karen. She was not able to make it to Niah's dedication but she has been there for us and Niah since before Niah was born. Karen didn't have to be at the ceremony for Niah to know that she is an extra special person in her life. She has loved Niah with all her heart and their relationship together is so special and cute. Niah's face lights up when she sees her and that's the kind of relationship that I want for my girls. These women love my Daughter as if she was their own. It's so cute to see and I am blessed to call these women my Best Friends and my Family.

Karen and Syniah (By looking at their pictures you can tell they have a special relationship)
