Mobile Baby Milestones

I didn’t document when it started, but Sophia has been rolling from her back to tummy during diaper changes for about a month now. She loves to reach for the package of wipes because of the crinkly sound it makes. She’ll also reach for “Friend”.

4/17 - Pulled her self up to kneeling position in her bassinet - time to take out the bassinet part of the playpen!

4/24 - Can stand up in her playpen while hanging onto the edge and will move her hands around the edge so that she can move herself around the playpen perimeter.

4/30 – Not-a-Nanny brought Sophia to my work for lunch. I had just finished feeding Sophia and she was sitting on my leg facing her car seat. She reached up for the car seat and pulled herself to a standing position.

5/1 - Moves around the outside perimeter of the not-a-walker. I keep my hands around her incase she falls. She tries to stand without hanging onto anything and can do so for about a second.

5/3 - Not-a-Nanny and I spent the day driving around and going to stores. I felt like Sophia was getting bored, so when we were at Toys “R” Us I took her out of the cart and had her hang onto my hands to walk. She was more interested in playing on the floor, so I let her. She finally did a half push up!

5/5 - Sophia got her first stomach flu. On Friday the 2nd Kurt and I went to the daycare (she starts on the 19th) to meet the person that will be Sophia’s primary caregiver. We sent all of 45 minutes there and during that time, I had Sophia on the floor playing with toys that made it into her mouth. I cringed when I saw the first one go in but I figured, this is where she’ll be going to daycare so what the heck. I’m sure this is where she caught her flu bug.

5/8 - I was feeding her just before her bedtime. Even though we were in her room without distraction, she popped off and started reaching for her crib. You want to go in your crib? Nah. I looked around and she kept reaching, almost pointing. You want “Friend”? I got friend out of the crib, covered her, and she happily went back to eating. She is Kurt’s darling baby girl!

5/10 - She’s getting a lot more bold with the standing unassisted and can so do for about three seconds. She does really well just hanging onto something with one hand. She can move one foot in front of the other - otherwise known as walking while hanging onto my fingers. It took her a while to figure out the one foot in front of the other and she still doesn’t get it quite right every time.
