Redeeming Birth

Beth has a friend whose first child was stillborn at full term. Then she got pregnant with twins and Beth asked the women's Bible study to pray for the health of the babies and their birth.

I happened across Wynne's blog today, since I was poking around on various CMU alums' web sites. She recently linked to this story about standardized testing. I don't have much that is original to say about this, but figured some of you might like to read the article.

Cheap USB drive

If you are willing to sign up with Google's checkout program, and mail in a rebate, you can get a USB 1GB flash drive for $6 from buy.com. The sale will last until tomorrow. It is their most popular item at the moment -- I wonder why....

Noah 4 Months

Noah's height chart is doing the same straight-line projection that Jonathan's weight chart did.
28" tall, 18lb 11oz.
I never pay much attention to the head circumference number, but that chart was also straight-line. The last two times, the nurse has double-checked that measurement, but Dr.Anderson wasn't concerned because Noah's overall growth is consistent. He's a big boy!

A Tooth Already!

Noah was having a hard time this early morning and he reached for my fingers to chew on them. Then I felt it! Tooth ridges on the bottom right!

This is a test

Hi newtech1. This is how it works. I previously bookmarked the "bookmarklet" on the new post page, and then while viewing your post, I went to my bookmarks and chose the javascript bookmark, which opened up the new post page, with the below already in the "text" window.

TV

Reading Mom's post about the TV/autism study reminded me of my own recent negative TV experience.

Cradle Cap, Tummy Time

I never did anything with Jonathan's cradle cap and it's still there. It's hidden by hair and doesn't bother him, so I continue to do nothing. But Noah's looks different, and actually more noticable, so I thought I'd try to do something about it.

Ring Bearer, Bible, and More

For the first time, on Wednesday before we left for Erica's wedding, Jonathan said, "You're the best Mommy in the world." Now he frequently says similar heartwarming things.

Birthday Sail

Jon told me last night that our friend Lisa from church was coming at 10am and we needed to be prepared to go somewhere cool for many hours.

Independent Dressing

Jonathan just put on his own pajamas all by himself! This is the first time he has put on the shirt part before. He can now put on and take off socks, shoes, underwear, pants and shirt. That's everything!

Thursday Hearing

I hadn't really paid attention to this date, since there have been so many delays and various things, but I just got this from Vicki:

Unless we hear otherwise, Judy's hearing is still on for Thursday. I just spoke with Judy and she asked me to post a reminder regarding the hearing.

Thursday's hearing will include witness testimony on both sides which promises to be emotional, to say the least. This is NOT just a formality. The judge can make preliminary rulings after hearing both sides as to what happens from here. Her attorney remains positive, but the outcome is still very uncertain. The only thing she is certain of is that God is in control.

Please make this a matter of utmost concern and prayer. Pray for wisdom for her attorney, fairness on behalf of the judge and that truth will prevail in the court room. Pray that any attempts to promote injustice will be blocked and that Judy and her family will be uplifted with strength and renewed hope and confidence.

Also, Judy has been busy with a wedding for her daughter, a mid-term exam (tomorrow) and just getting over a cold, so please pray for that as well.

Hair

Since he was 6 months old, Jonathan has gotten a haircut about every three months. We just take the largest guard on the electric razor and buzz it the same length all the way around. His previous haircut was just after Noah was born, so it was time. Plus, Auntie E's wedding is next week! But this time, Jonathan had an opinion. "I like it long! I don't want a haircut." So Jon just trimmed the sides and back but left everything else as it was. It looks good and makes him look older, I think.

Milk and Freedom

Serina wrote a post on raw milk that I started to comment on, when I decided it deserved a whole post on my own blog.

For a number of years, I have been on the Worship Quote of the Week e-mailing list, and have found a lot of the quotes to be edifying and helpful.

Scissors, Soot-su

Jonathan has been using scissors for a long time, but I just wanted to write down how cute he is when he cuts things. His mouth opens and closes exactly with each motion of the scissors.

Sleep

Twice last week, Noah slept eight hours straight at night. This is amazing to me, since I am not actively trying to get him to sleep through the night, and Jonathan didn't do that until he was two years old or so. This does Mommy much good. (:
