Birth

Meet Kobe. He was born on January 30 at 1:35 am. Here he is on January 31, when he is about
36 hours old. He is a developmental powerhouse full of potential. Already he is alert and
trying to figure out how things work in his new world. Most of his movements are
uncoordinated or involuntary reflexes.

At 2 months, Kobe has already changed a lot. He's lost that newborn look. Kobe now has more
control over his body. He is beginning to interact with his world.

Look at Kobe! He can sit up and may begin to crawl. At home, he’s beginning to feed himself.
He loves to play. At this age, most babies can roll over, grasp objects in their hands, and
respond to their own name.

Watch out world, Kobe is mobile! He can get himself where he wants to go, and he’s so proud
of himself. He loves to play peek-a-boo. He can wave bye-bye and blow kisses to his mom when
she goes to work.

Happy birthday, Kobe! He’s cruising around the house, walking as he holds onto things. At
this age, babies may take a few steps on their own. Although Kobe speaks only a few words,
he can let his parents know what he wants with sounds and gestures.
