You obviously have no children.
Three month olds can certainly smile, respond to stimulus such as music, familiar voices, etc. Both of my babies, at age 3 months, did not sleep nearly as much as I would have liked. SO, in answer to your question: No, a three-month-old does not sleep all the time.
I find it interesting you'd put your cursory Salon-based reading of her intellectual development ahead of a doctor's thorough examination, which found her to be arrested at about 3 months.
There's nothing creepy about "pillow angel" -- put yourself in this family's shoes, ferchrissakes! You people are completely lacking in common sense. GO to the family's web page. READ the links and comments from the doctors. I'm not saying this couldn't be abused (heck, sometimes I wish I didn't grow boobs myself!) but to judge this family for their decision and cast all kinds of strange insinuations and accusations on them is simply evil.
This is a wonderful story and the publicity it has received will surely save many families a lot of trouble over the next several decades. Now they all know about the Ashley treatment and can seek it for their own children.
