Starting Out

In just under one week, our baby girl will be dedicated at church! This is very exciting for us. Family members are coming in from different areas to celebrate with us. Here is a great way of describing what it is to dedicate our baby girl.

"As believers we are called to recognize that children belong first and foremost to God. God in his goodness gives children as gifts to parents. They not only have the awesome responsibility of caring for this gift, but also the wonderful privilege of enjoying the gift. Because children belong to God and are given by grace as gifts to parents, it is only proper and appropriate that children be dedicated back to God."

Sunday will be a special day for her dedication as it will also be her 4 month birthday. What a better way to celebrate then to giving her back to him? She is the joy in our lives and we couldn't be happier. As we watch her grow, we are amazed each and every day at the new milestones she is accomplishing. When she first started sleeping through the night (at 4 weeks old believe it or not) to finding her hands to her first smile to her first giggle to recently learning how to roll on her side. We are only inches away from learning how to roll over. For some reason, she is really angered when she is put on her stomach. Even with having tummy time everyday, she is still not fond of it.

We went to JC Penny for her 3 month pictures. Here are a few-

In addition to all these milestones, she is becoming a very talkative little girl. She loves to laugh and play with anyone that will spend time with her. Family, friends, and even strangers. We can be changing her diaper and she will be all smiles and giggles.

Thats all for now. Check back for more updates on the Caruss Clan!
