Dedication

Today was a special day for the Conrad family!

We participated in Family Dedication at our church. So we, along with 6 other families, trotted our little man onto the stage and pledged that we would raise Weston to know, love, and follow Jesus. It is our deepest desire that Weston would one day choose to acknowledge Jesus as his Savior and live a life that points others towards an eternity in heaven.
Grandma & Grandpa Schleinkofer came to visit for the weekend to be at family dedication, and after church, we all (along with Aunt Pearl & Uncle Matt) went to lunch. Weston has so much fun entertaining the Grandparents!



This past Thursday, Weston & I went for a nice long walk and stopped by the playground for Weston's first ride on the swings!! While he was still a bit small for the seat, he was smiling and seemed to enjoy most of the swing ride, I promise...except of course when Mommy tried to snap a picture....



In other news, Weston has recently found his feet! :o) He found his hands a couple weeks ago and has been intentionally reaching for everything around him that looks interesting. But just within the past day or two, his eye caught sight of those funny things at the end of his legs....feet and TOES! He hasn't quite connected his toes to his mouth yet, but I don't think that will be far off.

He has also been enjoying eating his rice cereal...and sitting up in his Bumbo while we are feeding him.

 
I can't seem to get the food to his mouth fast enough!...as soon as the spoon leaves his lips, he makes a noise that clearly says, "I need MORE!!" After only a few days of experience with "real" food, he recognizes that when the spoon is in front of his face, he needs to OPEN, and food will be inserted. My mom says that he is early in recognizing this important skill...not sure...maybe I'll have to look at one of my baby books for that. But he IS pretty smart :o)

Can't believe how fast he's growing and learning new things. We take him for his 4 month doctor's appointment this Thursday, and we're very excited to get all his stats! We're guessing at least 16 pounds & 25 inches long!!
