Not only was Sunday a special day for us due to Dave having his first Father's Day, but it was also N's baby dedication at our church. Our church doesn't believe in infant baptism since we believe that each person has to make their own decision when they are old enough to decide for themselves. A baby dedication is a time where we can stand up in front of the congregation and make a public commitment to raise N in a Godly home and to do our best to help him learn to love God. It's also a time for the church family to commit to loving N and to being a good example for him. It was even more special because Dave's parents got to be there for it. I think I might have been emotional for it, but N started to cry, just like I knew that he would, so it made me want to laugh.
For years, I've watched lots of other couples stand before the church with their tiny little babies and wonder when our day would could. It was finally our turn and it felt wonderful. :)
