the What to Expect the First Year book. And while it generally sucks, I enjoy reading the what your baby can do sections. This is mostly because I have a talented baby.
Baby should be able to:
~Lift head 45 degrees when on stomach- yes, she loves tummy time
Will probably be able to:
~Laugh out loud- she laughs, but it very much is her hearing us laugh and attempting to mimic it. Its adorable
~Lift head 90 degrees- yes
~Squeal- if making different pitches of noises counts, then yes. She loves singing
~Bring both hands together- yes, and hold things between them sometimes, too
~Smile spontaneously- definitely
~Follow an object held about 6 inches above baby's face for 180 degrees- this was last month
May possibly be able to:
~Hold head steady when upright-yes, until she gets tired.
~Raise chest when on stomach- not really. You can position her arms under her in such a way that it is possible, but that would be considered cheating.
~Roll over, front to back- yes and no. If you put her in the correct position, she can. But even then its hit and miss.
~Grasp a rattle- yes and she shakes it. I'm not so sure if she realizes that her shaking the rattle is what is making the noise, though.
~Pay attention to an object as small as a raisin- Haven't tested this.
May even be able to:
~Bear some weight on legs if held- she loves doing this. If she's not too tired, she'll laugh and laugh.
~Reach for an object- If its close enough she'll hit it or mess with it, but she's not too keen on straining for an object.
~Keep head level with body when pulled to sitting- this has happened before.
~Turn in the direction of a voice- sometimes, if she cares.
~Say vowel-consonant combinations, like "ah-goo"- I've heard that word before. This has become more rare since she has figured out that she can control the pitch of her voice.
~Razz- she can make a gurgly or bubbly noise. Last week was the razzy noises, this week, she seems to be focusing on making smacking noises.
