The Fourth Month:
- Drooling begins: Started at 3 months
- Good head control: Achieved at 1-2 months
- Sits with support: Can do, but very wobbly. Constantly tries to sit up.
- Bears some weight on legs when held upright: Another 1-2 months. She has wanted to stand since I can remember.
- Raises head and chest off surface to a 90 degree angle: She hasn't quite done a full push up, more like a push up from the elbows.
- Rolls from back to side: She is rolling over from back to tummy and back again.
- Explores and plays with hands: This is becoming more pronounced.
- Tries to reach for objects but overshoots: She is reaching and grabbing.
- Grasps objects with both hands: Check
- Eye-hand coordination begins: She grasps her pacifier, removes it from her mouth then puts it back in. Looks at and grasps her feet, even put them in her mouth today.
- Makes consonant sounds: This one makes no sense to me. She has made the hard "g" for awhile. "A-Gooo"
- Laughs: Finally she started this a couple of weeks ago. But she is very judicious as to how she doles it out. We did get it on video, yay!
- Enjoys being rocked, bounced or swung: Another one I don't understand. She has enjoyed that since birth.
I looked ahead at month five and she has completed 10 of the 13 milestones. Well, at least we aren't messing anything up right?
