Emma turned one month old on August 30th! I have been reading what to expect the first year, and while I don't really find it all that helpful so far, I do like looking at the developmental milestones to see if Emma can do them or not.
She can do all the things that most babies will probably be able to do
- Lift head briefly when on tummy- Focus on a face
- Bring hands to face
- Suck well
She can all the things that half of all babies will be able to do
-Respond to loud noises in some way, such as startling, crying, quieting
She can do all the things that some babies will be able to do
- Lift head 45 degrees when on tummy-Vocalize in ways other than crying, such as cooing (she doesn't do it very often though)
-Smile in response to a smile
She can do all the things that a few babies will be able to do
- Lift head 90 degrees when on tummy- Hold head steady when upright (for about 30 seconds or so)
-Bring both hands together
-Smile spontaneously (also rare, but has happened)
