it is like charlotte woke up and thought “today i am one month old. as such, i will now demonstrate skills that i showed no advancement towards as recently as my 1am feeding this morning.”she has spent the morning cooing instead of crying (hurrah!). i[rolled herself over]i on the tummy time mat (technically she had a teeny bit of help from the pillow she was propped up on, but it was negligible), and started interacting with toys that have been dangling from her face for a week or more. not just “hey, i can see that suddenly” (which is also kind of new–at least the duration of her focus is), but “let me hit that with my hand and make it rattle, and when it does, i’ll let out a satisfied coo.”am floored.
