How I grow
- I don’t bob my head as much.
- I keep my hands loosely open
most of the time. - I will hold objects, but I will not
reach for them. - I move my arms and legs a lot.
- When held in a standing position,
I can bear some weight on my
legs. - When I’m on my tummy, I can
hold my head up for 10 seconds or
longer. - I touch my face with my hands.
How I talk
- I gurgle, whimper and chuckle.
- I don’t cry as much as I used to.
- I squeal and make other sounds
when you talk to me.
How I eat and sleep
- I may have one feeding at night.
- I may sleep through the night.
- I may need a morning nap and an
afternoon nap.
How I respond
- When I see you, I turn my whole
body to face you. - I turn my head toward the
sounds of singing or talking. - I may stop or start crying
depending on who is holding me.
How I understand
- I’m beginning to remember
things. - I’m beginning to recognize different
people in my family.
