3 months old!

Baby girl,

Are you seriously already 3 months old? That’s a quarter of a year! You have changed so much over the past month. You have become very observant. You’ve started following us as we leave a room or walk across a room- but you haven’t started crying about that yet- maybe that comes this month :). My favorite time with you is right after I feed you and you give me those million dollar smiles….they are unbelievably sweet. You have started to sleep like a champ and we are loving it! You had your first tears this month and it broke my heart…I cried with you. You have the goofiest expressions that just crack us up. Dad likes to try to get you to “talk”…he says something in a high pitched voice (which is quite hilarious) and you respond with an a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e coo. You are definitely a drama queen at times- which you get it honest :). We’ve learned to never wear nice clothes around the home- you like to give us both spit-up showers.

This month you went on your first home depot trip…your dad has been dreaming about that day since before you were born. It was quite amusing to watch the two of you as he told you to breathe in that beautiful scent of wood J.

This month you had your first day back at the pregnancy center with me. You were a CHAMP! I was nervous about how it would work out to feed you and do ultrasounds, but you were so patient and did awesome—let’s hope it’s like that everytime?! J

I read a quote recently in my bible study:

                “Our Father, remove from us the sophistication of our age and the skepticism that has come, like frost, to blight our faith and to make it weak. Bring us back to a faith that makes men great and strong, a faith that enables us to love and to live, the faith by which alone we can walk with Thee. We pray for a return of that simple faith, that old fashioned trust in God…” –Peter Marshall in The Prayers of Peter Marshall

Sweet girl, I pray that for you- that your faith will be strong- like a tree planted by the water and sends it’s roots out by the stream- that doesn’t fear when heat comes, and it’s leaves are always green- that you never fail to bear fruit and you don’t worry during drought (Jeremiah 17:7-8). I pray that you would not be a skeptic of the Word but that your faith would be strong and steadfast- not hardened by things you might learn or experience. That your heart would be soft for Jesus. I pray you would see God as your closest friend and refuge and that your faith would not rest on just what you see, but what you don’t see- the eternal hope of glory. You are loved so fiercely by Jesus and I pray that you can understand that love He has for you and that your heart will trust in no one but Him.

We love you little muffie. Thanks for bringing us joy with your sweet spirit.
 

Love your goofy faces!
