Baby Dedication

Well it has been a little while since I last blogged and unfortunately I don't have pictures to post because my hubby dropped the camera on new year's eve and broke the screen.

Kinnick had his two week check up last week and everything went well. He had a small movable bump at the bottom of his head and she told me it is pretty common. Her thoughts were a small cyst or possibly an enlarged lymph node. He weighed 10 lbs and 13 oz and has grown 2.5 inches since he was born. I have started him on some rice cereal in his bottle because he has not slept well. The first night was awesome and he slept 7 or 8 hours but no such luck the following nights.

This past Sunday we had baby dedication and it went very well. Not a lot of my family was able to attend because of the cold and snowy weather but we were happy that the family that was there was able to share this special day. We attend a mennonite church and they do not believe in baptism as a baby but instead they dedicate the infant to the lord. We were asked to share for the service and on a trip to Ankeny Aaron wrote this.. (minus the quote in the beginning)

"We have heard it said that, "When you want a child, you have a lot to hope for. When you have a child, you have a lot to live for." In the months before and certainly after the blessing of the birth of Kinnick James on November 3, we can relate to these words. As many of you know there are joys and fears in parenting. Our wish is for him to grow strong spiritually and as a person. Our hope as parents is that our relationship with God will continue to grow stronger. A fear we share is not having all the answers and we pray that Kinnick will turn to the Lord for guidance. We are asking the church as family and friends for support and to hold us to our word in raising Kinnick in a Godly manner. We thank the Lord for this precious gift."

When the camera gets fixed I will be sure to post some pics of Kinnick in his cute little outfit for church:)
