Welcome to the second month! Chances are, there have been plenty of changes around your house in the last month: changes in your baby, who's steadily progressing from precious but a little lump like to adorably alert and increasingly active, and changes in you, as you evolve from rookie to semi-seasoned pro. While life with baby may be settling into a more predictable routine, there's probably still plenty to keep you guessing, so let's dive right in.
Smile! This month you'll get your reward for all those sleepless nights: baby's first social smile. You'll smile at her, she'll smile at you, and she'll win you over for good. Look for it, and melt accordingly, at about six weeks.
He may also start vocalizing in ways other than crying, making sweet, breathy cooing sounds that you'd like to think are his way of saying, "I love you, Mom and Dad." Truth is, he delights in hearing his own melodic coos, and throaty gurgles, almost as much as you do.
And next to self-expression, self-reflection may be her favorite pastime. She won't have the slightest idea who that sweet little face is grinning back at her in the mirror you've propped beside her, or on her changing table, but she'll thrill to watch it.
All hands on deck. Your little matey has discovered his hands and feet, and is completely fascinated with what he's found. Playing with his fingers and toes helps your baby learn how to control his movements. He'll use those still unfamiliar fists to grasp onto and shake rattles, and bat at and reach for everything in sight, a good reason to be mindful of everything that's in his reach.
Tummy time may be less like torture time now that she's able to lift her head out of that awkward face plant position to a 45 degree angle when on her belly. She may even be able to raise her chest, or hold that once-wobbly head steady. In between tummy time sessions, make sure she gets lots of other chances to flex those little muscles, by mixing up her positions and her point of view.
As the weeks start to fly by, and they will, don't forget to take a moment to follow my favorite Mommy and Daddy mantra of all: stop and smell the babies. Snuggle your bundle and savor that sweetness every chance you get. You've got this, Mom and Dad, but don't forget, I'll be here to help you this month, and every month. Enjoy the second month.
