Walkers and Feet

On Saturday Wallace and I went to the Church of The Open Garage in Vacaville. During Brother Wayne's sermon I was led around in the bible and I found some good verses about circumcision. I am happy with my decision not to circumcise my baby, but I have had to explain it to a lot of people. So here is my final explanation of why Wallace will not be circumcised.

Galatians 5:6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, it makes no difference to God whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. 

Philippians 3:5 For I was circumcised when I was eight days old, having been born into a pure-blooded Jewish family that is a branch of the tribe of Benjamin. So I am a real Jew if there ever was one! What's more, I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 6And zealous? Yes, in fact, I harshly persecuted the church. And I obeyed the Jewish law so carefully that I was never accused of any fault. 7 I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ

Colossians 2:11 When you came to Christ, you were "circumcised," but not by a physical procedure. It was a spiritual procedure -- the cutting away of your sinful nature.This is Wallace's walker. He got it on Saturday. He has such a good time playing in it. He will lock eyes with the giraffes and try and touch them. It is so cool to watch him explore his space and work to touch things. He scoots himself backwards all over the house. He moves the shapes around on the wiggely bar, bats at them, tries to lick them and grab them with both hands. He has also begun to make the EEEEHHHHHHUUU sound. He will say EEEHHHHUUU over and over, he squeals and laughs and says AAAUUUUU AAAAUUUUUOOOOO AAAIIIIAAAEEE. He is so fun!

On Saturday Wallace also got some brightly colored Halloween socks at  Target. Since we have put them on him he has begun to pay close attention to his feet. He grabs at them and sometimes when he gets ahold of one he tries to get it into his mouth. He normally gets the back of his hand in his mouth.

Today I went to the dentist and the grocery store and I left Wallace with his Papa for a few hours. I was so worried that I didn't leave enough milk! I called Dylan after my appointment and he said that they were just fine and not to worry. That was the very longest that I have ever been separated from my boy- and we both survived.
