Milestones

Kathryn, you are only seven weeks old and already you can do so much!

You started lifting your head at 1.5 weeks, and you're very good at it now.  Another couple of weeks and I think you'll have full head control.

You are very attentive--you started tracking at two weeks.  You like to follow objects and people with your eyes.  It seems you're always ready to learn!

You started to coo at four weeks.  You now make sounds like "guh", "ahh", "ehh" and "buh".  I talk back to you--I say "yum", "ma", "bee", and "oh".

You recognize me and Jared and you calm down from crying when we walk into your line of sight.

You slept through the night at 5.5 weeks old, and have been making it a habit since then.  You now sleep 7-9 hours straight each night!

You haven't quite "discovered" your hands--as in, looking at them--but you do use them to reach for things and to move things.  You smile so big when you manage to move one of your hanging toys by touching it.

You laughed for the first time yesterday, at seven weeks old.  We all want to hear more of that fun sound!
