Edward enjoyed himself at his first wedding this weekend. My cousin was a dazzling bride and we were so happy to be there to celebrate! Edward particularly enjoyed the mostaccioli from the buffet. I took a spoonful on my plate, but never got to try it because he devoured it as fast as I could hand it over! This was after his Teddy Graham appetizer, which he enjoyed from his perch under the high chair. Who knows why that was so fun, but it kept him occupied and quiet, so we weren't in a position to question.

In other feeding news, Ed wasn't cooperating with John's attempt to feed him applesauce this evening. This is one of his favorite foods and we knew he was hungry, so we decided to indulge his need for independence and let him take over the spoon. He was much happier, though considerably less efficient. It's a work in progress. As I prepped this video, it occurred to me that it was almost exactly a year ago that Edward had his first spoon meal. What a long journey in such a short time!



And finally tonight, we ask for your prayers for my brother-in-law's family. His dad is extremely ill with complications from a lung infection. Many of the reports we're getting are transporting us back to Will's bedside, where we watched, as they do now, his oxygen saturation, blood pressure, lung x-rays and edema and listened to doctor's assurances that they were doing their best to help him. It's so hard to believe that a previously vigorous 53-year-old could now be facing such similar challenges.
