Gracism

Grace: "Mommy, you are a bad Mommy."

Me: "Why am I a bad Mommy?"

Grace: "Because you say bad words!"

RJ's Baptism

RJ was baptized on Sunday August 22nd. The service was beautiful. RJ slept through the entire think, only opening his eyes when the water was poured on his head.

A reception followed at GG and Grandpa's house, with bagels, egg casseroles, bacon, sausage, and every kind of sweet treat you could think of. It was such a nice day.

Our Little Champ

RJ is growing like a weed. We are estimating that he weighs at least 15 lbs. His next doctor's appointment isn't until the end of October, so we won't know for sure until then. He has been sleeping through the night for many weeks now. What a champ!

I have been trying to get him to try some rice cereal on a spoon, but he has been very successful at spitting it out. This week, however, he seemed to get the hang of it. Yesterday he tried sweet potatoes for the first time and wasn't impressed. Tonight was a different story. He ate both rice cereal and sweet potatoes, and dare I say, he liked them!

RJ loves interacting with Grace. He will stare at her for long periods of time and will laugh or squeal when she plays with him. My hope is that they will always be great friends. I am blessed beyond words to be the mother of these two wonderful children!
