AGE FROM 4 MONTHS
Around four months of age an infant begins to gain control of their head, arms and legs and can move them voluntary.
When an object is placed in front of them they are able to focus on it and reach out for it. This is great for hand eye co-ordination. They kick and try to move, especially if they are chasing something. It is easier to move through water than on land.
Now they will be starting to roll over. First front to back, then back to front. The child may start watching their hands and feet.
At four months old, Quinn is still happy and smiling. We had him in the pool this time as we couldn't all fit in his bath. Quinn had a lot more control of his limbs. Legs kicked when asked, on his tummy and back, arms were moving and he focused on a ball reaching out to get it. As he had moments when he could not hold his head up Sarah had her fore finger under his chin for extra support.
