My first smile was for Mummy (of course!) at 4 weeks

I start trying to grab things at 3 months
When i don't put it immediately in my mouth(very rare)I can pass things from one hand to the other at 4 months but still have a little difficulty letting go!
Now is also when i start rolling from tummy to back but i still need help the other way.
I can sit quite straight just with some pillows round my bottom at 5 months.

I am a delightfully smiley baby...i just don't really want to go to sleep...i'd miss all the excitement!!!
My chucha is only necessary to help me sleep!"
