We managed to (very carefully) fit Cole's chubby little arms into the Lange family christening gown, which was hand-made by Beatrix Dean Kellard, Lindsey's great-great-grandmother (Bobpa's great-grandmother, Grandma Midgie's grandmother), over one hundred years ago. Although the delicate material definitely shows its age, Grandma Midgie's babies, grandbabies and great-grandbabies have continued to take their turns donning the intricately crafted gown on their baptismal days. Cole, of course, did not hesitate to put this irreplaceable treasure directly into his mouth. 8/28/2011.
