6 weeks

So Bailey is 6 weeks old. Not much new to report health wise. Her advancement is on track which is great news in it self.

She is rocking at just about everything she is supposed to be doing for her age. She is meeting or exceeding all milestones with the exception of making oohs and ahhs. She makes a lot of noises and will growl at you (taught by Daddy lol) but isn't making the "right" noises yet. She makes the faces for the noises but no matching sound. I think being able to mimic a growl is much better than oohing though lol.

She really is doing well and is starting to understand how to get things to her mouth, trying to hold her bottle and pacifier, how to reach and grab things she wants (not real coordinated yet but makes a great effort). Her head control and neck strength are really coming along and she is able to hold her head up for a few seconds and put it down gently once. If she tries a second time she flops down but she is showing great control, and more than anything, great will. She knows when she wants to do something and works hard to try to achieve it. I get the joy of praising her effort at least twice a day.

She is a happy baby generally and has a smile that lights up the whole house. It makes my day every time I see it. Unfortunately she won't allow me a picture of her gorgeous smile. She seems to be camera shy. I just can't figure out where she gets that from...
