Milestone Monday: 18 weeks
Things are moving so fast! I swear it was just last week that I found that disgusting, shriveled up little bit of cord in the toe of her sleeper. I remember telling myself it would get better when she smiled at me and that surely it would be any day. Today, she’s smiling and cooing and nursing like a champ. (And yes, those first few rare smiles made life more bearable). I feel like I can’t even track how fast she’s changing, so I’m going to try a new experiment: Milestone Monday.
Obviously she doesn’t reach a new milestone every week, but the alliteration was too good to pass up. So maybe I can start posting what’s new every Monday? We will see how it goes.
This week, she started lifting up her feet one at a time while standing (standing with help). Twice on Saturday, she “walked” over to Fee line this! It was very exciting for everyone.
During tummy time, she has finally started smiling. She also almost has the hang of rolling over, but she plants her hands a little too wide.
She fusses now if you lie her on her back. She can’t quite sit or stand on her own, which means she’s a lot of work! But that’s ok. It’s adorable.
She grabs for things in the book during bedtime story.
When she blows raspberries, it’s to express annoyance or frustration. This girl is ready to take on the world!
That’s all I can think of for this week.
