Ryan's Dedication

There is so much to tell about Ryan and his activities these days that I decided to pick the most important thing that has happened lately for a post. We dedicated Ryan to the Lord on August 8, 2010, which just happens to also be Mommy's birthday. It was a beautiful service and we are so thankful to our family who came to support us. Reverend Warren Green dedicated Ryan. He was also the minister who married us. We have a special bond with their family and vacation with them every year. Ryan was so well-mannered during the service. Of course, he wanted to talk a little bit before it was time for him to be dedicated. It was cute! Many of the people sitting around us said that they could not pay attention for watching Ryan. Trust me, Mommy felt the same way and was nervous about what Ryan would do next. Daddy was calm as ever, even though he was about to have to speak to the congregation. Rev. Green's prayer over Ryan and our new little family was very sweet. The only funny thing that happened was that Ryan threw his pacifier under the pulpit. I wanted to have a pacifier just in case there was a need for it, but I guess Ryan let me know that he did not need it nor did he appreciate my lack of faith in him.

After the service, we celebrated Ryan's dedication, Grandmama's birthday and Mommy's birthday with a meal at the Italian Oven. It was so yummy!

When we got home, Daddy and Ryan had a birthday cake and presents for Mommy. They are so good to me!

Also, we had a big discovery during the same weekend. Daddy discovered that Ryan had two teeth that had completely come through the gum. Ryan seems relieved to have those two teeth through the gum. Although, we have not heard much from him in regards to teething pain. Of course, Ryan chews on whatever he can get into his mouth. It is so cute to see those two teeth in the bottom of his mouth, but there are days that I miss his big toothless grin!
