Happy 1 Month!

Hard to believe but it has been a month since Gabriel made his way Earthside.

He is starting to have more awake hours during the day & responds to our voices.

1 Month Milestones

Most babies should be able to . . .

• Lift head briefly when on stomach
  

• Respond to sound - he looks around when he hears Louis & Leah
  

• Blink at bright lights - as all our children, he has a camera in his face quite often and responds to the flash.
  

• Stare and focus at faces
  

Some babies will probably be able to . . .

• Follow objects moved about 6 to 10 inches from face - I've noticed he looks at the dangling toy on his seat if Louis moves it about.
  

• Ooohs and aahhs - Gabriel has started to aahh a lot.
  

• Turn towards familiar voices and sounds

• Look and see black and white patterns

Some babies could possibly be able to . . .

• Smile in response to your smile - only gas smiles
  

• Laugh - sometimes he gets this look on his face like he is going to laugh but hasn't quite figured out how to do it yet.
  

• Hold up head at 45 degree angle

• Hold head steady when upright
