Milestones

So I got this chart off of babycenter.com. I thought I'd blog about how my little girl is doing so far in her development. She is 3 moths and 3 days.


Child's Age
Mastered Skills (most kids can do)

Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)

Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)
1 monthLifts head when lying on tummy
Responds to sound
Stares at faces
Follows objects briefly with eyes
Vocalizes: oohs and aahs
Can see black-and-white patterns
Smiles, laughs
Holds head at 45-degree angle
2 monthsVocalizes: gurgles and coos
Follows objects across field of vision
Notices his hands
Holds head up for short periods
Smiles, laughs
Holds head at 45-degree angle
Makes smoother movements
Holds head steady
Can bear weight on legs
Lifts head and shoulders when lying on tummy (mini-pushup)
3 monthsRecognizes your face and scent
Holds head steady
Visually tracks moving objects
Squeals, gurgles, coos
Blows bubbles
Recognizes your voice
Does mini-pushup
Rolls over, from tummy to back
Turns toward loud sounds
Can bring hands together, bats at toys





So far she can do all the "Mastered Skills", all the "Emerging Skills", and she can do all the "Advanced Skills" besides rolling over. I hope that's not a bad thing. She just loves to be on her tummy. She moves a lot when she is on her tummy, but I don't know how to teach her to roll over. I heard it's much harder to roll over from your back to tummy so I don't really know what to do. I just hope sometime soon she will be able to do it. I know some babies take a little more time than others so I know I shouldn't worry. I'm just so excited for her to develop all these skills. It's truly amazing how fast she learns and develops. Geeze before I know it she'll be crawling and walking!!

And then she'll be READING!!! haha just thought this was a cute picture. my growing little girl.
