3 Months Old

My little princess, Brooklyn, is 3 months old today.  She is such a good baby.  She is so smiley and talkative.  She is a great sleeper and great nurser.  She is getting so big.  We are still exclusively breastfeeding and cloth diapering 99% of the time now.  She is doing great with both.  She went swimming for the first time today.  She just chilled in her little floaty thing. She cried for maybe a second and then was all good.  Will post pictures soon.

By the end of month two a baby typically:

• Smiles - check
• Tracks objects with his eyes - check
• Makes noises other than crying - check
• May repeat vowel noises, such as "ah" or "ooh" - check

By the end of month three a baby typically:

• Raises head and chest when put on tummy - check
• Lifts head up 45 degrees - check
• Kicks and straightens legs when on back - check
• Open and shuts hands - check
• Pushes down with legs when placed on a hard surface - check
• Reaches for dangling objects - check
• Grasps and shakes hand toys - not quite but she still has time, hehe
• Tracks moving objects - check
• Begins to imitate sounds - not quite
• Recognizes familiar objects and people, even at a distance - check
• Begins to develop a social smile - check
• Begins to develop hand-eye coordination - check
• Brings both hands together - check
• Interested in circular and spiral patterns - check
• Kicks legs energetically - check
• Holds head up with control - check

Looks like she is right on track.  She has also trying to roll and has laughed a few times.
