At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, Baby Dalton is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Jay and I have been discussing who we want to be the God-Parents of Baby Dalton. We have decided to choose two married couples ... one that is particularly close to him and one that is close to me!

I read this "modern" definition of God-Parent on the web ... "an individual chosen by the parents to take a vested interest in raising a more complete human being". We're not looking for the God-Parents to be legal guardians of our child, if we were to pass. We're just looking for someone to take a special interest to pray, set an example of Christian living, to encourage our child in their faith, and to be there for him if he should need guidance.

I would really like to find a special way to ask these individuals to be God-Parents. I want them to take it very seriously because if they feel like it's something they can't or don't want to commit to, I really want them to tell us.

I'M LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS A SPECIAL EVENT FOR ALL INVOLVED ... PLEASE LEAVE US SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO ASK THEM!!!
