October 21, 2008 - Self Snoozin' With Bear Bear (Week 28)

Anthony has learned to fall asleep on his own! As soon as he exhibits signs of sleepiness, we put the pacifier in his mouth and lay him down with "bear bear" in the crook of his arm. He makes this weird string of sounds before he drifts off which is a blend of baby moans and jarbled kitty cat sounds. We have to get this on video!
On Saturday, we bought the boys their Halloween costumes. We decided not to dress them alike. Part of that decision was based on the fact that Anthony does not fit into the 6 month old costumes. Daniel will be a pea in a pod, and Anthony will be a lobster. Daddy Daniel also got a costume, but that is a secret for now. Stayed tuned for their pictures next week!
Besides costume shopping, we also spent some quality time with Susan that was quite overdue. We also went to the chapel to get the application for baby dedications. We will not be baptizing the boys. We will be having them dedicated. This means acknowledging God's sovereignty, not only over Daniel and Anthony, but also Mommy and Daddy. We will present them before a service and ask for grace and wisdom in carrying out our responsibilities as their parents. We will stand there also praying that our boys might one day grow up to make their own decision to love God.
