Melody turned 3 months old today and we celebrated by taking it easy at home just the two of us :) Her personality has really started to show these past few weeks and I love how vocal she's getting.
Couldn't resist with the bow...homemade by Brenda (Grammy)!

Melody loves to put her hands in her mouth and especially loves to suck on her thumb! Oh boy...

She is still a really great sleeper and we've gotten a better routine for taking naps during the day. She's also a big eater, sometimes eating 5-6 oz before bed! We are still nursing but she gets about a bottle a day since she's so hungry at night (it's also a great way for Ryan to continue to bond with her). I started back to work at the Melting Pot 2 nights a week, so Ryan is able to watch her and put her to bed. While I hate being away from them, it's nice to know she gets to have some special bonding time with her daddy :)

Melody's Dedication

Melody was dedicated this past Sunday at our church, Austin Bible Fellowship along with about 12 other infants! Both sets of parents came into town to celebrate this special occasion and my mom's parents were able to make it as well. Melody's life verse that we read for her was from Psalm 139: 1, 3-4. Ryan was also able to play a song that he wrote Melody, which he sang and dedicated to all the infants. It took everything for me to keep it together! The song was absolutely beautiful...a big thanks to Jason and Ali (our worship leaders) for singing and playing along with Ryan. I can't wait for Melody play it for Melody when she gets older :)
