3 months

Brecken just refuses to smile for the camera! She smiles all the time, just not when I have the camera out. Neway, Brecken is 3 months old and to me, looks the same as 2 months. She weighs 12 lbs. 14 oz. and as you can see, has outgrown her newborn clothes, but mommy hasn't gotten out the 3 months clothes yet, so she looks like a porker!

Everyone now says she looks more like me, but where I am around her everyday, I can't really tell any difference. Her hair has gotten lighter and longer and thankfully has not thinned yet. She has discovered her hands and is trying fiercely to grab the musical ladybug that hangs from her stroller, but has not yet succeeded. One day, my child. She kicks her legs and flails her arms like a madwoman, and unfortunately, she has her mom's temper. We couldn't get her to go to sleep the other night and as we were standing over her crib not knowing what to do, Matt says "She has so much fight in her" and then looks at me accusingly.

Every day is an adventure with her. There is no routine. We establish one for a few days, and then she decides to throw it out of whack, which throws mommy out of whack-I need my routine! I've been told I still have a lot to learn regarding this.

Dedication

This past Sunday was Brecken's dedication service at Matt's parents church. She was our perfect little angel! I held her the whole time and she just stared at Matt and me. We are truly blessed to have a such a wonderful daughter. I thank God for her everyday and am still in amazement that we created such a perfect human being.

She wore the gown that her great grandmother bought for her to wear home from the hospital when she was born and Matt and I thought it was perfect for the occasion. It was a beautiful ceremony and I wish my family could have been here to share it with us as well.

Noddie will be here next week to visit and we can't wait!
