Bright as a button
That’s what our wee girl is, as confirmed by the health visitor! My great granny used to say that babies become more advanced with each new generation, but it’s still so surprising how quickly our wee one is coming along. She’s two and a half weeks old and already she’s lifting her head and moving it about well, in addition to the constant wriggling and iron grip in her hands. For a newborn she’s not all that keen on sleeping for most of the day either – she’d rather lie there gazing at things, and the health visitor today swore that she was focussing already!
Coming from a large family I have a lot of experience with babies and I really haven’t seen anything like it. I had a feeling through my pregnancy that she’d be a clever one and from what we’ve seen so far I think that gut feeling is totally justified
