Thumbs Up

Since our last post, Simon has attended his third book club discussion with our Friday night history of Christianity group. We are reading The Work We Have to Do by Mark Noll. It's a short history of Protestant Christianity. I think Simon seems to favor Wesleyan pietism over Reformed Calvinism at this point, but it is hard to decipher his doctrinal leanings between diaper changes. Truly, he usually stays awake for the first hour, but hour two creeps into his bedtime.

The big news is that Simon found his thumb last night! After weeks of chewing hands, knuckles, fists, and fingers, mom found Simon fast asleep with just his thumb in his mouth this morning. Hopefully we will capture a picture of that soon.

He goes for his 4-month checkup on Friday morning...which will include shots. Keep him in your prayers as that day approaches.

Pics!

Simon sports his new Cubs gear fresh from Chicago. Thanks, Ben! Per usual, the Cubs are off to a blazing 7-11 start. Wait 'til next year!















Simon in his tractor outfit (thanks, Sarah!) before church on Sunday. He peed on it.














Simon naps on dad.

His neck is getting stronger and stronger!!!
