Max's Baby Dedication

We love you little buddy!

Last Sunday, our sweet baby boy was dedicated at Northwood Church. It was a very special day for Brad and I as it reminded us when Callie Grace had her dedication when she was about 9 months old. We were happy to have my mom, dad, and Nancy come for this big day!
Baby dedications are really for the parents. It's where we make a commitment to God that we will raise our children according to His plan. We picked a bible verse for Max and it says “Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it.” Proverbs 8:32-33.
Unfortunately, early that morning (3:00 am), Max started throwing up in his bed. I hadn't experienced a little baby vomiting before (because Callie never did that) so we really didn't know what to do for him. All I kept thinking about was that he had his dedication in 7 hours! Luckily, we cleaned him all up and he went back to sleep- he woke up in a pretty good mood and ready to go to church! At about 7:00 am that morning, Grammie called and said that she'd been up all night throwing up! Coincidence??? Not really- she had been watching Max the whole week while I was at work. Sounds like they got each other sick:( We missed you, Grammie, but know you would've been there if you could!
As with Callie's dedication, we went to lunch at Joe's Coffee Shop (my dad's FAVORITE place) and the poor baby threw up once again. Oh well- he's better now (after a week of being sick off and on) and we are thankful for that.
