my little 3-month-old

Braxxton is now 3 months old and is what people say "filling out." He loves to eat (about every 2 hours!) and smile. He is a very happy baby who smiles and giggles a lot. He has become quite the little cat napper, taking several short naps throughout the day but sleeps long stretches at night (usually 7+ hours at a time). He very rarely cries, just when he gets too tired or decides he wanted to eat 10 minutes ago. His favorite thing is "airplane rides," which can usually get him to giggle. He also loves books and talking to us.  He is still in size 1 diapers, but mostly wears cloth, and now almost all 3-6 month clothes, although I still try to squeeze him into some 0-3 month stuff cuz I just can't put it away yet. :)

Braxxton's Baptism

This past Sunday we had Braxxton baptised. Being a parent has put a whole new perspective on the amount of love God has for his children. My heart could just about explode with the amount of love I have for Braxxton. He melts my heart and in everything I do, I only want the best for him. And then to think that God loves every one of us even more than that. It's pretty hard unimaginable, really. I love this song before but now I can't even hear it without getting a little teary-eyed.

"Find Your Wings" - Mark Harris
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold 
The plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray for all that you might do
But most of all I want to know you're walking in the truth
And if I never told you I want you to know
That as I watch you grow

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you root and help you find your wings

May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep your strong, guide you on your way
May there be many moments that make your life so sweet
Oh but more than memories

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots and help you find your wings

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off but I'll cheer as you fly

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots and help you find your wings
