Sean Feeds Himself for First Time (June 22) Age 2

It's very trying having Sean initiate feeding himself. Part of him just doesn't get it. Another part of him is content with being fed by someone else. Then you have the choking factor; so you have to find food easily picked up by his hands which isn't too small or too big. Which that in it's self is a challenge because he lacks the coordination or gross motor skill to pick up small objects using the pincher grasp. There's a lot going on in these pictures. But, I found something he liked! A CHIPS AHOY cookie, snack size. IT IS AWESOME. Not only does it help with his "biting" technique because it's crunchy, but it kind of "melts" in the humidity of the air and his moist mouth. It's also small enough to grasp in his hand or use pincher grasp. This is his first chocolate chip cookie. Sean isn't that interested in sweets but this seemed to work.

Sean Prays Over Summer (June 13)

This is so cute. I love how Sean has caught on to us praying to God about things. So innocent and beautiful.

Sean and Summer Having Floor Time (May 21, 2016)

Family Baptism (May 15, 2016) So AWESOME.

We LOVE Jesus. We accepted him into our hearts and believe he is our salvation and our only hope for eternal life in Heaven. But we had never been baptized...until THIS day. Melanie was a little scared so I went with her. It was so awesome. It was even more special because we did it as a family. I'm excited for our family to continue learning and growing in our faith. 2 Peter 3:18 says... But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory now and forever. Amen. Romans 6:4 says... Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should we walk in newness of life.
