It has been a steady rhythm of feeding time, playtime, naptime, tummy time, cuddle time, quiet time, bedtime...
The common factor here is time. Or not enough of it. I caught myself this morning asking, "when was the last time I had a shower?" Not that I was wildly funky, just surprised that I couldn't answer the question with any degree of certainty.
It seems that the little indicators of development creep in. Someone mentions that she tried to reach for a toy during tummy time. Was it reaching or just that spastic extending of the arms? Smiling or just gas? Did she just roll over on purpose or just flop around?
I DO know that she has started making more sounds. She's starting push away or pull towards her mouth with her hands. Not with any amount of dexterity, but the message is clear enough. Her head is getting steadier ever week, and she can prop herself up on her arms. I got what I believe to be a reactive social smile the other day! Of course it must have been an anomoly as we haven't been able to duplicate the phenomenon since.
Baby steps. If I look back 3 months ago to see what she was capable of then compared to know, it's just WOW. I'm still waiting for her to make a leap that just blows me away. Until then, we'll keep singing and playing.

When she says mama and papa for the first time, both of you are going to be ecstatic.
BTW, by decree of her Most Inquisitiveness, your Grandmother-in-law, you are hearby ordered to take a picture of smiling Jade soonest. :P When it happens, of course.
