Magic Milestones!
13 July 2006, 09:35
For those who may be remotely interested, and as I haven’t really written much about the extremely awesome little girl we have managed to produce (awwwww!) in spite of some of my own idiosyncratic flaws, here is the run-down of her magic milestones, plus a (rare) photo of her anticipatory runway antics in time for our Adelaide trip this weekend…
Week 5: First real smile
Week 6: First raspberry (“razz”)
Week 7: First “conversation” (“ahgoooo”, “yerrrrr”, “ahbooo”)
Week 12: First laugh & first sleeping through (i.e. no night feeds at all… and wasn’t that short-lived…)
Week 13: Follows a rattle with her eyes
Week 14 (3 months): First roll from tummy to back (not to be repeated for another month) and grabs hold of things quite well
Week 16: Moves head back and forth independently
Week 21: Pulls to standing position from sitting
Week 22: sits unsupported for about 20 seconds (very slumped, you couldn’t leave the room with her like that or she’d faceplant). Also does a version of commando crawling – can turn around 270 degrees but not actually go anywhere…
Week 23: Reaches out to grab her toys
Week 24: First aeroplane, apparently a precursor to crawling (?)
All of this has been dutifully recorded in the Baby Owner’s Maintenance Log . Every parent must have one…
