Louis is developing well. Everyday he does something new or improves on something old.
2 Month Developmental Milestone
• Vocalizes: gurgles and coos - he does this when he wants our attention or just after being nursed and is all happy & full
• Follows objects across field of vision - has a good time with Leah and his toys. She will sit in front of him moving his toys back and forth.
• Notices his hands - they are always in his mouth and it is only a matter of time (short time) before his thumb finds his way into his mouth. I try to distract him when I see his thumb making its way there.
• Holds head up for short periods - He has been holding his head more as of late.
• Smiles, laughs - he laughs at Leah all the time. She smiles constantly. Real genuine smiles. Nothing like it.
• Holds head at 45-degree angle - He is beginning to do hold his head up to the side.
• Makes smoother movements
• Can bear weight on legs
• Lifts head and shoulders when lying on tummy (mini-pushup) - he attempts to lift himself up but isn't quite there yet.
• Turns toward loud sounds - I noticed recently that he is turning towards loud noises. I didn't expect him to do this for a few more weeks.
Other things he has been doing:
He sticks his tongue out at you if you do it to him. He has been imitating ooh and aah sounds. He opens and shuts his hands, you don't find him clutching his hands as often anymore. He definitely recognizes us, even from afar.
