Milestones?

damerida

Just curious, what milestones have your babies reached?

Mine is 10 1/2 weeks old, and he's such a happy little guy! All smiles and just last week he started giggling. It's amazing! He also discovered his hands a couple of weeks ago, and after staring at them for awhile figured out he can grasp things and put them in his mouth. His head control isn't great yet. He can hold it up for a moment or so and then flop! I'm looking forward to that one.

He was ten days late so I think he's hitting some milestones early. He had his first social smiles just before three weeks. He's also a ginormous baby. 14 lbs and over 25" long.

Brag away ladies!!

My son is 11 weeks today he's 13.2 pounds and 25 inches long. Also ginormous. He's hitting all of his milestones as well. He loves being outside and observing his older cousins. He's a great nighttime sleeper over 8 hours most nights. Congrats to the Mommy's. We've made it this far.

My son turns 3 months this week. At his 2 month check up the doctor said he had some of the social skills & development of a 4 month old.

Oh, 8 hours! That's awesome!

My 3 month old has the reading comprehension of a 6 month old.

I'm worried. My 3-month-old can speak in four languages but can only seem to write in one. Ugh. I hope he won't have trouble getting into an Ivy next year.

@ColeyConnoli - What?!? You are slacking...I had mine accepted to the Ivy's during 2nd trimester.

Wait. @ColeyCannoli is your LO reading yet? Mine can read in Latin, French, and English. His translation from French to English is rough but he's getting there. My pedi thinks he'll be better around 5 months. Do you think it's too late to submit his Harvard application?

My LO rolled from front to back at two weeks. Pedi says since he was five days late he's pretty advanced.

Only if she lets her dip her fingers in the formula can first. Crunchy AND chewy!

My LO has had a strong neck since about 5 weeks. He's been doing great with tummy time He can roll from stomach to back no problem (started about 6-7 weeks) but can only go from back to side...still working on that full roll over He's talking more and more each day and he started grasping toys at 10 weeks and now (13weeks) will grab them without prompting! He grabbed his George plushie all by himself and pulled it on top of his belly today! I'm so proud of him he's also starting to scoot a bit when in tummy time He started smiling around 5-6 weeks socially and now does it a lot when I and my husband are around...especially daddy! He also will turn when he hears our voices and smiles when he sees things he likes.

LO is having some difficulties. She mounts the dog okay (loving our homemade saddle!) and they make it through the first couple of jumps, but she still hesitates before they jump through the ring of flames. Hopefully she will have more confidence at 3 months.

meghoesch

Thank god I have an amazing sleepwr! 10-11 hours at night for the last 2 weeks. She is 11 weeks now. She doesn't like tummy time but has started to laugh and it kills me every time! She was a month early so isn't rolling or moving too much when laying down.

kelsire

My toddler attacks the baby any time she is on the floor. This makes any tummy time very difficult. I figure if she rolls by 6 months we will be doing good as she never gets unconfined time to practice!
She does have great head control though. Probably because she only likes to be held in positions where she can hold her head up. Not a snuggler.

Not sure why people think it is so funny to mock the original question. At least answer the question with a real answer before making a joke.

After Ted Cruz announced his presidency campaign yesterday, my baby decided he was going to amend the 35 age rule and go ahead an run as well. My DS also thinks he can set a record in fund raising.

Careful... @kelsire might think you are mocking the original question.

nolanova85

Oh man. This one made me LOL. Also not sure they're mocking the question so much as some of the responses.

Anywho...LO is 3 months +. Seriously, I can't remember the weeks unless I look at a calendar. His head control is good but still floppy from time to time. He's always liked tummy time and is doing well. Only rolled over once...at daycare...which makes me so sad I missed it. He smiles pretty easily but we have to work for the giggles. Loves his hands but hasn't yet really started reaching for things. We're trying to encourage it lately and he does seem more intrigued, so I think we're close. He's very verbal which is such a delight.

He's generally happy baby, so we count our blessings. He stays in his crib 11 hours a night. Some nights he need a quick sooth, some nights he needs a quick snack, some night he goes the whole way thru.

My boy is 3.5 months. He has been supporting his weight and standing since he was 3 weeks. The boy hates being put into a Seated position with the exception of brining in his bumbo which he loves for 5 minutes at a time. He talks all day long and smiles as well. His giggles are coming more often now. He rolled over the other day for the first time while doing tummy time! He has discovered his hands and feet and he definitely recognized his mama and daddy. He is so long that he is outgrowing some of his 6month clothes...

weezy29

I'm still stuck on the baby sleeping 8 hours at a time. Mine won't go past three. Damn, under achiever. Oh, and he's 16 weeks. Seriously though, jealous!!

JessDiller

Nothing crazy, but my 13 wk old did do 20 straight mins of tummy time today. Longest stretch ever! And she recognized her reflection in the mirror and smiled at herself. 8->

Our 14 week old is freaking huge!  17 pounds.  DH is weirdly proud of that haha... obviously he doesn't know what it feels like to have the constant oversuppply and sore boobs that come from feeding a giant haha.  The cute thing he does is throw his head back and silently laugh!  He is clearly happy but just not a lot of sound comes out!  I find it adorable.  Almost like he is cracking up so hard that he can't make any sound.

My girls are 16 weeks and kind of like adorable smiley slugs. They have no interest in keeping their heads up or anything. When we do tummy time they just lay there and sob. Le sigh..:: they slept for 8-9 hours at night until this week, now they are waking up again. My first born was an overachiever at milestones so I guess my girls can be lazy if they want to. Heh
