So I had no idea what the pincer grasp was until about 2 months ago when I started to look at what signs to look for before feeding solids to a baby. The first "grasp" a baby does is a raking kind where they use all their fingers to get something. The pincer grasp is where they actually use their thumb and first finger to pick something up or hold it.
Well two things have happened this week that have completely surprised me. First Sunday at church Bubby started to grab at his bottle. We don't do bottles often so this was totally unexpected by me. I decided to just see what he did with it and well, he held it in his own mouth for quite a while. I was pleased as pie, it even overshadowed me hitting the guy sitting next to me with the bottle lid when I "popped" it off the bottle.
Also, this last weekend C told me that Bubby uses a pincer grasp at times. I didn't believe him. I should have. I went to check on Bubbs during his nap Tuesday morning and he had spit his paci out as is usual for him. He started to stir a bit later and when I got to the crib to check on him again he had put the paci in his mouth and gone back to sleep! So we have been playing a game this week where I hold his paci out in front of him and he grabs it and tries to put it in his mouth. He has won the game a couple of times.
I am pretty sure he will be rolling over soon as he will almost bend over backwards to look at his mobile or his daddy and I when we look in his crib. He can also sit by himself for almost five seconds. He is an amazing kid!

Dreams
There really is no theme to this blog yet. When one comes out I will probably have to start a new one for that theme as I enjoy having a place to write about the "new" twists life is offering. So, for today the topic on my mind is dreams.
For several days I have been having dreams. Dreams in and of themselves are not odd for me to have but dreams that I can remember days later... those I pay attention to. Sometimes I chalk the dream up to pizza (or almost a whole tub of popcorn) or to getting too hot at night. Dreams that happen under those circumstances are generally pretty interesting, usually have slightly scary aspects and in general I don't like very much.
Since last Thursday I have been having dreams that have their "pizza" quality but each night there is one thing that each has in common and those parts I can remember past C, my little alarm clock, waking me up. In each dream I have been part of a team of musicians leading worship in a large venue. In none of the dreams have I seen the congregation, just the team. And in each team there has been a combination of people that I would never expect to see; they are from several churches I have gone to and from different generations. For the last 20 years I have gone to 4 churches and served on the worship teams in each of them so I know these people in my dreams.
I am not entirely sure but I think this is happening in response to a prayer I pray and a desire to serve a worship team and with a worship team. Just recently I have been asking God to help me help the current worship team I am joining at Life Church. I don't know everything, I don't have all the answers, but I do have some experience and some desire and with those things I want to serve and try to help better this team and the situation we are in equipment wise. I think these dreams are happening in response to a thought I have had where I have tried to quiet the sound technician in me so that I can "just" be a singer and frankly, it is just about impossible if not completely impossible.
Finally, I think this may be happening in response to a desire that has woken up in me the last 7 or so months to see what worship will be like in heaven. I had a dream about a dance that had hundreds of people in it each doing their own dance but if you looked at them all together the dances worked together. Similarly, in my recent dreams many members of many teams are coming together and together directing worship to God Almighty. I think I may be getting a glimpse of what worship will be like in heaven. I think we should be trying to work towards that here on earth. I think this may be some of my most exciting dreams yet... despite the pizza parts.
