Baby Milestones

For the people we love who are far away, and want see Jessica's progress, here are some of the little things we notice she's learned lately:

• watching us while we make her bottle
• pull her legs up when we change her diaper, or just for fun
• smiling at people
• cooing a lot more, more vowels and "talking"
• holding her own hands
• holding her hands or arm in her mouth and licking it (she still can't keep a pacifier in)
• kicking hard, and straigtening her legs to "stand" (finally! the doctor called her lack of standing "lazy" 2 appointments in a row)
• licking everything
• reading the warning label on her car seat
• rolling to her left side, or from her side to her back
• starting the night sleeping one way and waking up sleeping another
• sleeping from 7pm to 7am
• she's getting so fat she's losing the crease in the middle of her forearm
• she's grown out of her newborn clothes, dresses, and socks
• I think her hair is longer, but her head is bigger, so it looks the same
• holding a rattle and shaking it a while before dropping it
