3 months old, week 1
Eye-hand coordination had been a relatively big progress this week. Juli enjoyed grasping the black camera strap or other strips. She began to reach, touch and explore a small object such as the tiny stuffed rabbit.
Juli sat with pillow support and enjoyed standing with support as long as she liked. She leaned forward herself when she wanted to get up. She tried it by herself often.
Full color vision should be fully developed by 14 weeks old or so.
Gaze shifting between picture and ASL word
Juli looked at the picture where I pointed at and then shifted her gaze at me for the ASL word. And then she gazed back at the next picture and looked at me for the word; one after another.
This was a milestone that I really noticed how Juli shifted her gaze between ASL word and picture.
It's uncertain whether Juli realized finger-pointing as the link between a signed word and its picture, and thus a relationship between the object and its name.
ASL vocabulary
Video clip: "Wanna orange?" Juli looked excited. She had tasted the orange last week. "Sorry, no orange left. Wanna strawberry?" Juli looked grumpy. Introduced the garlic to Juli in scent and word. Juli looked unpleased when sniffing it.
