Fourth Month Milestones

I was looking on Nestle's Website (Verybestbaby.com) at the Fourth Month milestones. I was happy to see that Elizabeth has hit all milestones on the list except for one.

Here's the list of things she can do or has been doing for awhile now:

• Squeal and laugh with delight.
• Make "raspberry" sounds with her lips.
• Experiment by making new sounds.
• Make sounds in response to you.
• Track moving objects as her head and neck development work together.
• Roll over (usually from front to back) as muscles continue to develop.
• Raise herself up on straightened arms while lying on her tummy, looking all around as neck muscles strengthen.
• Grasp a rattle with stronger hand muscles.
• Bear weight on both legs.
• Start to sleep through the night.

The one thing I haven't noticed her doing:

• Begin to show interest in solid foods by reaching for mom and dad's food at the table or other food in her line of sight. It's important to begin Baby on the right solid food when she's ready.

She has watched us eat but hasn't reached for it or smacked her lips
