Rowan: 3 Months

I am back to work now, and a little behind on my update for Rowan.  She turned 3 months on February 26th.  She is getting so BIG!  I weighed her on our new home scale and she is about 13 lbs now.  I know I mention this a lot, but she is such a smiley baby!  It doesn't take much to get her to smile either, she is just so happy!! In fact, I'm pretty certain I heard a giggle out of her yesterday when I was giving her kisses! She has started to take an interest in toys, and is also starting to grasp and hold them.  She is also starting to take a bottle better since she kinda is forced to while I am at work.  Although she still will not take a binky!  She has moved from sucking on her hands and fingers, to just her thumb now.  I'm not sure how I feel about it, since the habit will probably be harder to break her of than taking a binky away, but I do admit it is pretty cute right now, and it gives her comfort which is a good thing.  She absolutely just loves people, she is a very social baby and just loves being with 'her people' and she especially adores her older brother, Liam.  We can tell they are forming a special bond with each other already.  Liam likes to play 'peek-a-boo' with her too.  One thing that she started doing recently that is both frustrating and adorable is she has started to 'sing'.  But, the reason it is frustrating is because she will do it between nursing. She will nurse for about 4 or 5 minutes, then she will just look up and start singing....I love it, but would like if she waited till after her feeding to do it because she really didn't get much to eat over the weekend...but she also slept a whole lot, so we think she might be going through a different phase in her growth...anyway, she is just a sweet, wonderful baby, and we just love having her be apart of our family!!

Bailey still sucks her thumb but not nearly as much these days. Killian did the same thing but grew out of it on his own. It is so cute when they do it at such a young age! Now I had a sister that sucked her thumb till she was 12 or 13!!! What broke her was my dad took a picture and hung it on the fridge for all to see.
