Rattle Rattle Shake Shake Shake

Ronan is almost 3 months old. He can hold rattles well and shakes them when I say "shake, shake, shake". He stops, smiles and shakes it again. I guess he loves the sound of the rattle and wants to listen to it again and again. Rattle, rattle, shake shake shake.:)

Which month did your child achieve this milestone? Did you record it?

2.5 months old baby - milestones

Ronan is 2.5 months old and is growing well into a cute chubby baby. My elder son Richie was on the thinner side. I used to have lots of difficulties taking care of Richie. Richie used to cry a lot as he used to suffer from colic in the evenings. Maybe being a mother for a second time, it is different. You know how to handle stuff better and can do it easily.

Milestones:
Ronan is trying to recognize faces. He turns in the direction of my voice.
He has started laughing out loudly whenever he is tickled.
He also tries to imitate and laugh whenever someone laughs.
He tries to hold our hand and tell stories.

Ronan started cooing today.

It was a wonderful day today. We went for 7am mass. It was bit cold due to the misty dew. When we came back I changed Ronan and kept him in his pram to play. We were all having breakfast when Paa went to talk to him. He was asking him questions and Ronan started cooing back for the first time. It became louder and louder with Ronan smiling and throwing his hands and legs in the air as if to say "Lift me up Paa. I wanna play with you".

Ronan smiled for the first time

Ronan smiled for the first time today. He is almost 2 months old now. Yesterday, we had been to my moms place to pay them a visit. He was studying the new environment. He met lots of new people and wanted them to carry him. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. When we came back home he was completely a changed kid. He started responding and smiling back.
