Well, I’m 3 months old today and there is so much new stuff that I can do, I think my mom is worried I will be going to college soon. 🙂
By the end of this month, I SHOULD be able to:
*on stomach, lift head 45 degrees – yup.
*follow an object in an arc about 6 inches above the face to the midline (straight ahead) – yup.
…will PROBABLY be able to:
*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.
*on stomach, lift head 90 degrees – yup.
*squeal in delight – yup. Mommy loves hearing me do this.
*bring both hands together – I do this a lot now. When I first did it (mentioned in a previous post), it was more random than anything, now it’s not.
*smile spontaneously – yup, everyone has been loving my smile for a while now.
*follow an object in an arc about 6 inches above the face for 180 degrees (from one side to the other) – yup.
…may even be able to:
*hold head steady when upright – yup, see my last month’s post
*on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms – not yet, but I’m trying and getting close.
*roll over – nope, still trying. But mommy’s been helping me and it’s a really fun game we like to play.
*grasp a rattle held to backs or tips of fingers – yup. And I even play with it a little now.
*pay attention to a raisin or other very small object – Mommy still hasn’t tried this one with me yet, but I like to pay attention to everything now.
…may POSSIBLY even be able to:
*bear some weight on legs when held upright – I love doing this. Mommy does this for me when I’m fussy and it makes me feel better.
*reach for an object – Finally got this one down. I love grabbing my toys and pulling them up to my mouth.
*keep head level with body when pulled to a sitting position – not yet, but close.
*turn in the direction of a voice, particularily mommy’s – Not really. I can hear my parent’s but I’m not ready to turn and look yet.
*say ah-goo or similar vowel-constonant combination – yup. I do this along with laughing and squealing when I’m happy.
*razz (make a wet razzing sound) – I’ve done it once about a week ago. I might do it more soon.
