Post your milestones here!

[Ringlette]

I would like everyone to post there milestones of the following here! I'm going to make a table of averages for the new moms, so they know when to expect their babies to do certain things. I know that every baby is very different and every milestone age can be very different, so the more responses I get to this, the better! Post them for all of your children separately, so I can get a good average, please.

1) Birth Date and Gestation
2) Due Date and Corrected age if any
3) Rolling from back to front
4) Rolling from front to back
5) First smile
6) Sleeping thru the night (more than 6 hours)
7) Started cereal
8) Started other solids (fruits, vegetables, and meat)
9) Sat in exersaucer
10) Sitting up when put there
11) First word...what was it?
12) Commando/belly crawl

Good idea, Ring. Mine are waaaaaay behind the curve on a lot of gross motor and communication milestones. Their fine motor skills have always been ahead. Interestingly, they did not sit up, crawl, or walk until they saw another set of identical twin boys do so. And most of their milestones they hit the same day or within a day or two of each other, except walking, Chris took forever to decide he wanted to walk.
