So Ryan is one month old now. Taking care of a little baby is definitely easier the second time around. I actually feel like I know what I’m doing this time. So here’s how he is doing.
By the end of this month, Ryan … SHOULD be able to:
-lift head briefly when on stomach on a flat surface - yup.
-focus on a face - yup.
… will PROBABLY be able to:
-respond t a bell in some way, such as startling, crying, quieting - he startles.
… may POSSIBLY be able to:
-lift head 45 degrees when on stomach - yup.
-vocalize in ways other than crying (e.g. cooing) - not yet.
-smile in response to your smile - he smiles, usually when sleeping, but other than that he doesn’t do it otherwise.
… may even be able to:
-lift head 90 degrees when on stomach - not yet, but close.
-hold head steady when upright - he’s close, he can do it for 2-3 seconds at a time.
-bring both hands together - yup.
-smile spontaneously - I guess this relates to the smile above.
