Baby's First Year

Birth
January 30

Meet Kobe. He was born on January 30 at 1:35am. Here he is on January 31, when he is about 36 hours old. He is a developmental powerhouse waiting to explode. Already he is alert and trying to figure out how things work in his new environment. Most of his movements are uncoordinated or involuntary reflexes.

At two months, Kobe has already changed quite a bit. He's lost that newborn look and he has developed more control over his body. He is beginning to interact with his world.

Look at Kobe! He can sit up and may begin to crawl. At home he is beginning to feed himself. He loves to play. At this age, most babies can sit up, roll over and grasp objects in their hands.

Watch out world, Kobe is mobile! He can get himself where he wants to go and he is so proud of himself. He loves to play peek-a-boo, and he can wave bye-bye and blow kisses to his mom when she goes to work.

Happy Birthday Kobe! He is "cruising" around the house—walking as he holds on to things. At this age, babies may take a few steps on their own. Although Kobe speaks only a few words, he can certainly let Mom and Dad know what he wants with gestures and sounds.
