3 months old!

Sweet Elliana Joy reached her 3rd month of life this month! She brings so much joy and love to our lives, and we are so thankful to have her in our family!
This month she:
Is smiling and giggling more and more. Things that make her smile and laugh: kisses, tickles, big brother and sister, daddy, and raspberries!
Gets very excited if she sees her daddy! Heavy breathing and bouncing up and down until he picks her up or interacts with her...so cute!
Isn't taking bottles very well since mommy went back to work. We aren't sure if she doesn't like bottles or if her tongue (she has an infection of some sort on her tongue) is bothering her so she doesn't want to latch on the plastic.
Despite that, she is growing like a weed! She still fits in some of her 3-6 month clothing, but more and more, I am having to pull out the 6-9 month clothing! She weighs a little over 15 lbs, so she is definitely getting enough milk!
She isn't really rolling over yet, but she is getting her hands to her mouth more and more. She doesn't seem to enjoy sucking on her thumb though (fine with me!).
She is by far our most relaxed/chill baby! She is pretty content in just about every situation or place we put her at least for a while! Our biggest challenge is keeping her from being loved to death by her big sister, who is enamored with her.
She is such a sweet snuggler. She comes to work with me a few afternoons a week and it's so lovely to have her snuggled against my chest in a wrap while I work on my administrative duties. She just melts into you and cuddles!
Sweet girly, you are growing up so quickly! I am so excited to see your personality continue to unfold, but it is definitely bittersweet.
