LO Milestones

[roseinbloom]

Our babies are growing up!

Share your pride and tell us here when your little one makes an exciting achievement!

[roseinbloom]

I'll start this off, although it's not a real milestone; this week we retired R's first wave of clothing/diaper sizes.

No intentional smiles yet (mostly in his sleep), but I feel it's just around the corner.

LO started smiling this week, that was vet exciting. She is also getting very good a visual tracking and liking her toys much better

LO is 7 weeks Thursday and was born at 38 weeks.

Wow! 7 hours? That is crazy talk!

Not sure if it counts as a milestone, but J has started frowning- he's got the perfect little frown that shows up right before he cries and it makes me laugh so much.

K does this too. It's adorable!

Intentional smiles. Big sister can get her cooing and smiling by making kissy noises.

Yes! I. got her pouty-lip down this week.

Shouldn't we say their age? I think this counts big time when considering milestones.

Gestational age at birth: 40+3
Current age: 8 weeks today

K can: roll belly to back, hold head up above butt when on belly, track, smile, coo and make basic sounds.

C does this too, we call it "incredibly sad face"

Thanks for requesting that people include GA, SheilaTheTank! DD will be 6 weeks Wed. but was 3 whole weeks early. I have to constantly remind myself that I can't compare her to other 6 week olds.

[rosetyler72]

C smiles at us, slept for 6 hrs, and finally fell asleep in the swing on his own. He is 7 weeks old, my favorite age so far!

[rachelilly23]

K lifts her head all the way up when on her belly. Sleeps 6 hours at night, eats, goes back to sleep for 3 or 4 more hours.

She's 5 weeks old today, born at 39w.

Wow! That's nice!

Max was born at 38wks. He is 7wks. He hates tummy time. He loves bath. He enjoys his play mat and grabs for his toys. He smiles and loves for us to talk to him and he coos back.

[paloslee]

The sleeping 6hrs sounds wonderful. I'm waiting for that.

[sunny]

Oh, I should add that L is 6 weeks old, and she was born at 38+5.

[megrae12]

W was born at 35+4, 8 weeks on Wed. Adjusted age is 3w2d. He rolled from belly to back the other day and goes about every 3.5 hours at night. He just started social smiling this week, but it is very intermittent.

[katespade]

J is starting to lift her head when she does tummy time on our chests. She's also looking in the direction of sounds she hears (mostly voices but occasionally other sounds).

GA: 40+6
Currently: 2.5 weeks

[songbirdsinging55]

We got our first smiles and she follows objects with her eyes. We also moved up to size 1 diapers.

[adorebel]

It's crazy how many of your babies are rolling belly to back! I'm reading a book that says it usually happens between 14 and 16 weeks! LO is 7 weeks (GA 6 weeks) and is lifting head and leg to try to roll over, but she doesn't look like she's gonna roll too soon.

[cinnamonsmiles]

Gestational age at birth: 40+5
Current age: 5.5 weeks

First smiles yesterday! Lifting her head when doing tummy time and likes to hold it up when held to look around (neck control). Size 1 disposable diapers, NB cloth still works for now. Wearing 3 month clothes and size small sleepsack.

[Missy0483]

GA: 37 weeks
Age: 6 weeks, 7 on Friday.

Brady has really good head control. He hates tummy time, but holds his head up really well while we're holding him. He likes to try to "stand" when we hold him up on our laps. We noticed him focusing on me today when I was near him, he followed my movements. Nothing major going on here. Still waiting for real smiles!

[roseinbloom]

Age wasn't included in the op because milestones are exciting whenever they happen, early or late, and I hope not to cause anyone anxiety.

Very impressed with the early learners, though! Bravo, little TCF babes!

[rachelilly23]

K just rolled belly to back... twice! And she smiled at me today. Good day!

[daydreamsam]

C is one month old tomorrow! She is impressing us with her skills, visually tracking both of us and a few toys and holding her head up like a champ!

Miles is just under six weeks! He was born at 41w2d.

We have:

Smiles!
Slept through the night four times - two nights in a row! First time was at 3.5 weeks, then the others were all in the past week.
Turns his head from side to side/pushes himself up during tummy time.
Bats at his toys while in his bouncer.

[halfahippy]

A is 7 weeks today. Born at 39w1d.
She smiles and coos when you talk to her. Guys tend to get a better response. She lifts her head and turns it from one side to the other when on tummy time. She usually gives me a 4-5 hour stretch at night.
