Mother's Day May 10, 2009

How blessed I was to have Ladybug dedicated on my first mother’s day. It is such an honor for Chris and I to be able to stand in front of our family and friends and God to proclaim our intent to raise her in His glorious way and love. We picked a life verse for Ladybug and feel that it really is a wonderful verse not only for her to grow by but for all of us to live and learn. Colossians 1: 9-12:

9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped
praying
for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will
through all
spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10And we pray this in order
that you may
live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way:
bearing fruit in
every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being
strengthened with all
power according to his glorious might so that you may
have great endurance and
patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the
Father, who has qualified you[d]
to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he
has
rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom
of the
Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption,[e]
the forgiveness of sins.

Our adventure into Baby Led Weaning has really picked up as Ladybug has really started eating anything and everything put in front of her! She still prefers meat over anything else but I think fruit may be coming in a close second. Her two new teeth don’t seem to be helping the process yet. It is so wonderful to watch her happily munching away on whatever Chris and I are having for dinner and then sneakily try to feed it to the dog! We are trying to stop this cute behavior much to the disappointment of Chase.
