1 month: &nbsp;at first it seems that nothing but SLEEPING, EATING, CRYING, elimination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;movement: &nbsp;jerky, quivering arm thrusts: &nbsp;brings hands within range of eyes and mouth,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;strong reflexes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vision/ hearing: &nbsp;focuses &nbsp;8 to 12 inches away

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;eyes wander and occas cross

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prefers high contrast patterns

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prefers human face to all other patterns

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hearing is fully mature ???? (what does that even mean???) &nbsp;turns toward familiar sounds.</p>

<p>

3 months: &nbsp;dramatic transformation: &nbsp;now active and responsive: acquiring more voluntary control

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>spending hours inspecting her hands and watching their mvmt</b>s.
