Yup, I’m 4 months old today. Check out what I should be and will soon be able to do.

By the end of this month, I SHOULD be able to:

*on stomach, lift head 90 degrees – yup, but I hate being on my stomach and I will let everyone know it.
*laugh out loud – sorta. You can tell I’m laughing, but I don’t always make noise and when I do it’s closer to a giggle than a laugh (same as last month )
*follow an object in an arc about 6 inches above the face for 180 degrees (from one side to the other) – yup.

…will PROBABLY be able to:

*hold head steady when upright – yup, see my last 2 month’s posts
*on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms-not yet, when I try just my bum goes up, I think I have things backwards.
*roll over – I can get halfway over now, I don’t know if I want to get the rest of the way, it means lying on my stomach until mommy or daddy rescues me.
*grasp a rattle held to backs or tips of fingers – yup, I especially love greg the bunny.
*reach for an object – I don’t really reach yet.
*squeal in delight – yup.

…may POSSIBLY be able to:
*keep head level with body when pulled to sitting - hard to tell. when mommy tries, I like to push with my legs so I start to stand at the same time.
*turn in the direction of a voice, particularily mommy’s – yup. I especially like it when she calls me from work and Daddy puts mommy on speaker, I can intently watch the phone and not miss mommy as much.
*say ah-goo or similar vowel-constonant combination – yup, I do it alot.
*razz (make a wet razzing sound) – Do this all the time now too.

…may even be able to:

*bear some weight on legs when held upright – I love doing this. I’m even playing in my Jolly Jumper now.
*sit without support – yup, but I tilt and evenually fall over, but I’d rather sit than lay down now.
*object if a toy is taken away – hmmm…I might have to start doing this.

One other thing – I had rice cereal today. This is the second time I’ve had it, but I liked it this time and ate up the whole amount that was made for me. This growing-up thing is kinda cool! I can’t wait to see what new stuff I get introduced to next.
