Baby Milestones

I was curious about fullterm baby milestones, so i looked it up! Heres what I found:

By the end of month one a baby typically:
Lifts head for short periods of time - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Moves head from side to side - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Prefers the human face to other shapes - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Makes jerky, arm movements - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Brings hands to face - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Has strong reflex movements - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Can focus on items 8 to 12 inches away - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
May turn towards familiar sounds or voices - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Responds to loud sounds - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Blinks at bright lights - Evie & Jackson can both do this!

By the end of month two a baby typically:
Smiles - - Evie & Jackson can both do this, tho not alot yet
Tracks objects with his eyes - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
Makes noises other than crying - Evie & Jackson can both do this!
May repeat vowel noises, such as "ah" or "ooh" - they both sigh alot, Jackson tries to "ooh" - he forms his mouth in the sound.

So as you can see, both babes are trucking right along, even tho they are still almost 3 weeks from their due date!!!
