And as I was typing that sentence, I had to stop and watch Charlotte grab a toy and put it to her mouth for the first time. So glad we'll soon have more ways to keep her entertained, since my "victory" with the pacifier lasted less than 24 hours.
So, what's been going on: we dedicated Charlotte to God last Sunday. Our new church doesn't do infant baptism, but that's quite okay with me. It was a joy to stand before the congregation, though, and publicly proclaim our intent to raise her in a godly home and prayerfully lead her to Christ.
I must pause to say that she is now hugging her doll! Must get a picture...
Also, last Thursday, I drove to the Big City for a haircut. On the interstate driving home, we were sideswiped by an 18-wheeler, which spun my car out of control. I really thought I might die. Peter and Charlotte were in the car with me, and hearing their cries was as beautiful as the days they were born, because I knew they were okay before I could turn around and see them. Not a scratch on any of us.
I have been trying not to think about the incident too much, and yet I think about it constantly. Peter, too, has replayed it with his matchbox cars more times than I can count.
But my thoughts on that will have to wait, because Charlotte is being so darn cute. Just look at this:

Yikes! Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad that you all were okay.
Don't worry about the pacifier. Before long, she will be past the age when you think she even needs it, and then you won't have to worry about weaning her from it. Claire never sucked on pacifiers or fingers, and it was great. Emma, unfortunately, is most definitely a thumb sucker!
That accident sounds so scary. I remember replaying a moment that Bella fell down the stairs over and over in my mind. I can't imagine what a wreck I'd be after a car accident. So glad that everyone is OK. And. . . that photo of Charlotte is ADORABLE!
