3 months - 6 months - a 2 min read

3 - 4 months :

• Started the Glenn Doman reading & math program when he was 3 months old.
• He loved reading different kinds of books- touch and feel books , puppet books , picture books and even sound books.
• Started to understand emotions through tone of voice. 
• Started demanding that we rock him to sleep and he wouldn't sleep otherwise.
• Head control - was able to raise head to 45 degrees and hold it steady
• Slept overnight for the first time
• Started rolling with ease

4 - 5 months :

• Started semi - solids.
• Started thumb sucking.
• Started blowing bubbles
• Was able to hold objects for more than 20 seconds when placed in his hand.
• Was saying words like 'a-goo','mm-aah' etc.
• Started lifting his bottom to push himself forward
• Started using rake grasp

One day , he started to shiver violently as if he was feeling cold . I wrapped him up in a blanket and hugged him close to me.
Even though he was shivering, he was fully conscious and was still responding. The episode ended in 2-3 minutes.
We thought that it was a SEIZURE. It had happened only once so we couldn't conclude anything out of it. It did not occur again in the next few weeks.

5 - 6 months :

• Started grabbing his legs 
• Started to understand object permanence
• Started trying to imitate facial expressions
• Started grabbing and pulling objects towards himself

WHAT WAS HE NOT ABLE TO DO BY THE END OF 6 MONTHS :

1. Passing things from hand to hand
2. Sit without support
3. Crawling in cross pattern
4. Mini push up

Since it was only 4 milestones that he had not achieved by the end of 6  months we were not much worried. We still believed he was completely normal except for the fact that he had a small head. Even his pediatrician was amazed at his progress and he said that it was okay if the baby was not able to sit unsupported by 6 months and that there was still time . So, we continued providing him a stimulating environment and did not worry much about milestones.
