I can’t believe Rose is 4 months old and already 14 lbs!  These pictures were taken the very first time she laughed at us.  It was after the big girls had gone to sleep, and she got so tickled that she found her feet.  She couldn’t stop laughing.  I thought in my head, “This is her very first laugh” so I ran to get the camera so I could remember what she looked like.  She may be a night owl like the rest of us to have so much fun this late at night.

The colic officially ended this week, and we have a happy, comfortable baby in it’s place – YAY!  My heart is so happy about this, I just can’t describe the relief.  It makes every thing less tense and easier around here to know that she is at peace and not hurting!

My favorite things about Rose are her precious smiles, of course, the way she puts out her lower lip when she needs us, her firm grip around our fingers when we “hold hands,” and her overall sweet countenance.  She is so curious about the world around her and is holding her head up really well, even when doing tummy time.  Noelle and Anna Kate love her to pieces and take such good care of her.  I think Rose will grow up with three “Moms” just like Brother Man, but as I say, even better! 

I don’t know what we ever did without Rose… she is the best!  We are so smitten over our 3rd baby girl!!!
