Look who's three!

Three months, that is! Korri "turns" three months old today. I know it gets old hearing it, but so crazy that she is that old already. Here are some development things for a three month old.

Your baby has been able to recognize you since she was just a few days old, but now she may actually be able to show it. About half of babies this age begin to exhibit an obvious recognition of their parents. [I think she recognizes me, but hard to tell at this age.]

Here are some other milestones to look for.

Movement Milestones
Raises head and chest when lying on stomach [for sure!]
Supports upper body with arms when lying on stomach [yes, when arms are propped under her for her]
Stretches legs out and kicks when lying on stomach or back [I think so]
Opens and shuts hands [yes]
Pushes down on legs when feet are placed on a firm surface [yes, this is new for us because Finn didn't so this until, well, forever]
Brings hand to mouth [thankfully, yes!]
Takes swipes at dangling objects with hands [haven't noticed this yet]
Grasps and shakes hand toys [haven't given her toys, but grabs at others' fingers]

Visual and Hearing Milestones
Watches faces intently [yes]
Follows moving objects [yes]
Recognizes familiar objects and people at a distance [not sure, but I think so]
Starts using hands and eyes in coordination [I don't think so]
Smiles at the sound of your voice [yes, my voice anyway]
Begins to babble [yes, she tries so hard and only a little comes out!]
Begins to imitate some sounds [she LOVES this game]
Turns head toward direction of sound [yes]

Social and Emotional Milestones
Begins to develop a social smile [yes]
Enjoys playing with other people and may cry when playing stops [haven't noticed this yet]
Becomes more communicative and expressive with face and body [yes]
Imitates some movements and facial expressions [yes, a little bit]
