Milestones
What is everyone's babies up to? Any neat tricks?
Ellie rolled from tummy to back today. Since she was three weeks she rolled from back to her side. She also for a few weeks now has been reaching out and grabbing things. My days of wearing necklaces or my hair down are over :P. Ellie also smiles a lot, coo's and babbles. She loves floating on her back in the bathtub and kicking her legs to splash water. (Ellie is 9 weeks old).
Wondering what all your little peanuts are up to, I'm sure you all are proud mamas dying to tell :)

Fun with books today...first my little guy was holding and "reading" his board book. Then a few minutes later while I was reading him the same book, he grabbed it from me and closed it. I guess he was done with that book! :)
Seattle-- that's so cute!
Annabelle rolls to her side and partially on tummy now but can't figure out what to do with her arm. We are working on it. She does sit in her bumbo and bouncy seat and in our laps without any head support now. And she talks so much, especially first thing in the morning and every time she's on her changing table.

Yay Brandi!!! Lol Carly sounds like Ellie lifting her shirt up. My husband says "Ellie this is not martigras"
Seattleview too cute!
Seattleview too cute!
Daddy has decided it's fun to make our little guy pretend he's walking on the floor...and last night he actually started lifting his knees as if he were taking the steps daddy was jokingly trying to get him to take - left, right, left, right even. Pretty cute!
I would just like to update the twins milestones....both are rolling over now :) We put them in one position on their play mats and will go do something real quick in the other room. When we come back, they'll flip themselves the other way. Also, both are actively playing with toys & babble like crazy. Carly also seems to enjoy lifting her shirt up. She does that everytime we go out somewhere. Crazy girl!
Ella is doing really good apart from crying a million times a day lol. She will be 3 months on the 28th and is doing heaps already. Ella can roll both ways but when I say that she doesn't lie on the ground and roll around heaps, if I put her on her back she will roll to her tummy although she hasn't figured out how to pull her arm out yet lol. She was rolling from tummy to back unintentionally at 2weeks but did more frequently at 6 weeks.
Ella has started lifting up her head and reaching for toys now. She can grab at toys and hold them but I don't think she realises she is holding a toy or has made that connection yet. She loves eating her hands now lol so I assume she has realised she has hands. She gives us lots of smiles but I don't think she is cooing just yet and if she does it is only a one off.
Apart from that she is doing really good and growing really fast.

Grayson totally surprised me today by holding his arms out to be picked up. Pretty cool.
Yay Brandi!!! I love hearing about the twins sounds like they are doing great! They say for preemies you start expecting milestones based on due date not delivery date (that's what we were told with Ellie being preemie).
Trh CONGRATS! Yay for tummytime. Ellie hates tummy time now :P silly baby

We had success at tummy time. She doesn't LOVE it but she will stay on her tummy, hold her head up, and try to look around. That's a LOT of work for a baby :-) Annabelle has started smiling all of the time now. Well, except when she decides to scream. HA! And she's talking.. making all kinds of silly little sounds, especially when she's on her play mat.
Both of my babies are growing like weeds! I have to remember they were born 8 weeks early, so milestones for them seem to come a little later than what's considered average. But, both babies can hold their heads up really well, they can follow a voice with their eyes and head, they kick/wiggle and can stand when you hold them by the arms. They also love to look in mirrors and Carly can somewhat scoot herself around when she's on her tummy. I'll lay her in one spot & come back and she's in another! They both smile like crazy anytime my hubby or I make noises or just talk to them. It's amazing!
Ellie kicks and wiggles too like she is trying to escape. The other day she was on her tummy trying to crawl and wiggle and I was telling her resistance is futile there is no escape and she rolled over I guess that shut me up lol! She is hating tummy time lately though so we do tummy time laying on my tummy which she enjoys.
Ellie also says something that sounds like hi and she says ma now too.
Trh if she cries when you put her on her tummy don't force the issue is what I have read. I don't know if your pedi would say different though. You can also try tummy time with her laying on your tummy. Ellie is good with tummy time that way but hasn't been into tummy time on her play mat in the last week or so.
It's amazing how strong all of our babies are and how quickly they are growing up!!

aww cute everyone has something exciting going on. :) Leila held her head up for about 10 min the second they put her on my chest after she was born. She wouldnt put it down she just wanted to stare at me. She has started to laugh and smile at us now. She coos and talks to us all the time. I cant get enough of it!. I love making her smile. Shes also been starting to roll from her back to her side for awhile. Not makingn too much progress lol. She sure is trying to run away though, lots of kicking and moving all over on her back, strengthening those muscles. Shes 7 weeks old.
I don't think we're going to have a "turning over" milestone any time soon. Annabelle HATES being on her tummy so I don't foresee her going from back to stomach any time soon. Hmmmm, maybe I should put her on her stomach and see if we can get her to roll quickly to her back. Or is that just torturing my child??
My little guy makes two especially fun sounds...one that sounds like "hi" and one that sounds like "okay". Very cute!
Ezra is doing big smiles and cooing lot... kicking his feet lots.... following me or objects with his eyes... turns his head towards me when he hears me... not trying to grab toys but he likes to look... i have found him on his side a few times... a bath him in a baby bathtub on my bathroom counter and everytime lately he will look in the mirror and and then back to me wondering why there is two of me lol and he seems to be a little jealous of the baby in the mirror lol
I definately believe you that is amazing. you weatch she will be crawling and pulling herself up at 5 months :)
Roxy you do have a strong little one!! I do believe you. Ellie also rolled onto her side that early and held a pacifier (they gave her one in the NICU). I bet she is going to be on the move early! :)
oh i forgot my favorite thing, her smiles!!! she smiles so big sometimes, all Shes missing are her teeth.lol
my lil emily picked her head up high 2 hrs after being born and still does. she is so strong. when she was 4 days she turned from laying on her back to her side. i quickly got her. i was amazed that she was only 4 days born and she was already turning. i didn't want her to hurt her self. also at 4 days she pits her hands up on to her bottle as if shes holding it.lol days later she holds her paci with one hand. a week ago i was changing her and she was mad she pushed her legs against my thigh and she moved up the sofa every time she would do so.
im so impressed of what she does for a 2 week old baby. you guys may not believe me but please remember my baby was born at 9lb 6oz she is a big baby. she looks like a 2 month baby. she eats 4 oz of formula at 2 weeks old. she is so strong!
