Murphy is already 2 months old! (Actually as of today he is 2 months and 8 days old). Time truly flies by. You weigh close to 11 pounds already and are between 25-50% with weight, height, and head size! You are our growing boy! Your brother loves his "bebe Muuufy" more than anything. He constantly tries to give you your paci (even when you don't want it) and kisses you non stop. Y'all are going to be best buds and partners is crime for the rest of your life. I pray.
Murphy,
You were baptized on 10•15•16 at St. Dominic Church in Mobile, AL. You were baptized by the person you were named after, Monsignor Murphy. He is extremely special to our family and such a holy and amazing man. Mama grew up with him in my life, hearing is amazing sermons, and enduring his cheek squeezes. He is truly the holiest man I have ever met. He helped make Mama and Daddy's wedding one of the most special days of our lives. Big shoes to fill my Murph. ;-)
Your Godmother is Anna Price. She is one of Mama and Daddy's best friends. She was Mama's best friend first but I decided I could share! Heinz loves her too. He calls her "na"--I imagine you may call her that one day too. Anna has such a sweet, real, honest, and strong relationship with God. I know that she will keep it on her heart and mind to always encourage you to keep Christ in your heart, in your words, and in your actions. You are a lucky boy to have her as your God mama. She loves you so much--and we love her too! She lives in Starkville but we are hoping to get her closer to us really soon!
Your Godfather is Jake Barwick. Jake is Daddy's best friend and Mama's best friend Robyn's husband. We really are just all best friends! :-) Jake and Daddy love to talk sports, drink beer AND wine, grill out, play bunko, and have fun. Jake became Catholic a year or so before he married Robyn (around the same time that Daddy became Catholic). Jake is such a great man of God -- something that I pray for your future. Jake walks the walk and talks the talk! Jake lives in Memphis so you will see him quite a bit. Jake is about to have his first baby -- a boy! Baby Barwick will be your buddy that's for sure!
Murphy,
I cannot express in words how honored I am to be you and Heinzs' Mama. God entrusted you to me and Daddy. We are so excited to raise y'all in the Catholic Church, to teach y'all about the faith, to watch y'all experience the sacraments, and to watch y'all build your own faith.
God is good...all the time! And all the time...God is good!
You are such a sweet and happy baby! You smile at people all the time but you especially love to smile at your cousins and Heinz!
Xoxo,
Mama :-)
