3 Months Ago Today

It's hard to believe that 3 months ago today we held Mattie in our arms for the first time...I can hardly remember what life was like before Mattie...it seems like we've been together a long time. And at the same time she's growing so fast and changing so much every day, I feel like time is flying by.We celebrated the day at my parents house with lasagna (which Mattie loves btw).

And here's one from the other day...it's my favorite from this week. I said 'say cheese' and whalah! I'm thinking it's a coincidence she smiled right then b/c I've tried it again several times and she just looks at me like 'what?'

Tomorrow Mattie turns 11months...so stay tuned for some comparison shots from 8months old!

Alan and Tressa, She is a beauty. I just love reading the blogs that show your deep love for Mattie. It is a great reminder that no matter how we receive our children...by adoption or by birth, they are gifts from God. I especially love that you prayed for her long before she was even born. God is so good. Melissa Hutsell
