Being Mother’s Day our church decided it would be appropriate to have the baby dedications this morning. We got to join several of our friends on stage with our young ones during the service.
I feel it is important to point out the difference between a baby “dedication” and a baby baptism or “sprinkling.” We believe that baptism is an expression of one’s decision to follow Christ. There are two very important things about that belief: 1) The act of baptism is not what makes one a Christian. 2) Being a Christian is a choice – not something a parent can decide for their child (as much as they might wish they could). So in our church a baby dedication service is simply a time where the parents and the church make a commitment to each other and to the child that they will support, love, and encourage the child together.
It is a great feeling for a young couple like us to know that we have a congregation of loving friends who are committed to helping us raise our child in a godly way.

I was out last week on a business trip to Virginia. In my absence Heidi had Trey on a rigorous routine to perfect his walking skills. The result? When he saw me at the airport he walked from Heidi to me with his arms outstretched. Boy did that make my day!
Auntie Annie joined us for a trip to Walsingham Park and took these photos. Trey is gaining confidence in his walking skills everyday.

It is amazing how much fun Trey has beating on bowls and empty containers. The Ovaltine canister is one of his favorites.

My parents sent an email to Trey today. This was the message.
Since William flew up to Richmond today, Trey and I accepted the invitation. Dinner got a little messy, so he got the traditional sink bath before going home.
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a tiny white spec on Trey’s lower gum line. He was especially fussy that day, and I realized that he was finally cutting his first tooth. It wasn’t until today, however, that the tooth broke through the skin. I was feeding him cheerios and scraped my finger along the top of the tooth. Congratulations, Trey! Only 19 more to go…then they fall out, and 32 more to go. Yeah!
