The Petersen Family: 3 Months Old

I had all these plans to make a post when Brooke turned 2 months old. Then I decided to wait until after her 2 month check up. Now she is almost 3 1/2 months and I am finally getting to it :) I can't believe how quickly time flies by. She is a very happy baby most of the time as long as she is being held. She wants to be held ALL the time still. She screams when you put her down for very long. And if you do put her down, she wants to be right next to you. She feels very left out when she is not next to us for meals. It makes it really hard to get anything done. BUT...we love her so much. I love getting to cuddle with her. She can't resist smiling at her daddy :) When she is fed with a clean diaper, she is such a happy girl. She gives us lots of smiles :) She is also quite the talker! I love it.

She is a better sleeper than our others, but hasn't been as good since our trip. She only gets up when she has to eat, so I don't mind. She does not nap well during the day. She takes mini naps all day long. If I hold her though, she takes great naps. I probably hold her too much, but I love holding my sleeping baby.

She had her 2 month check up. She weighed 10.8 lbs (32%) and was 22.25 inches long (27%). Her head size was 14.5 (2%), so pretty small head but I think she looks perfect :) So far she is our smallest. She got 3 shots, and she cried pretty much the whole day. She does not like pain.

Our happy girl :)

Brooke loves to sit up and check out what is going on around her. Unless she is really tired she prefers to be held sitting up and looking out. We are borrowing a bumbo chair, and she really likes it. Here she is the 1st time.

She is getting much better at holding her head.

I put her in it one time while making dinner, and she fell asleep instantly.

She is starting to figure out how to use her hands, so she plays with toys a lot more. She likes to sit in the corner of the couch and play, just like Dallin.
