During the third month of his life, Zyan has started to show a little more personality. Activities are a bit more social than they were a couple months ago when eating and sleeping were all that my baby was interested in. During socializing times my baby will start to:
- Lift head to a 45 degree angle from the surface that he is laying on
- Stiffen legs as if trying to stand when feet are on a hard surface
- Reach for shiny or dangling objects
- Grasps toys and shakes small hand toys such as rattles
- Imitates sounds that the infant hears
- Recognizes people and starts to develop trust of known people as well as distrust and fear of strangers
- Lifts head with much better muscle control.
- Starts to develop hand-eye coordination
- Energetically kicks and moves while awake to expend energy
- Brings hands together in clapping motion
- Watches and enjoys circles and spiral patterns
- Lifts head and chest when laid on tummy and will attempt to move
