Yesterday at church Jer blessed Little Li. In our religion this means giving the baby a name on the records of the church and in life and pronouncing a blessing on them to help them throughout their lives. We do not believe in baptizing infants and wait until the child is old enough to know right from wrong (age 8) before we give them the choice of if they want to be baptised or not.
The little blanket and jacket that he is wearing are the same ones that I was blessed in by my great grandfather as an infant. Both of Li's siblings and most of his cousins on my side of the family were also blessed in the same outfit.
