According to Babycenter.com, Annika should be this far along in her developmental cycle:
"Your baby's head is fairly steady now and she's able to exercise more motor control over her feet and hands instead of just swinging them wildly. To see this new skill in action, hold a toy or rattle up in front of your baby and watch her grab for it. Don't forget to cheer her when she gets it. She'll thrive on your encouragement for the rest of her life!"
I don't see it saying anywhere that flashing gang signs is a normal part of a 7-week old's development?
Annika's head *is* fairly steady - which is great. She looks so old! But I will say she's still a pro at flailing. And grabbing things? Well, if flailing wildly and then connecting with objects counts...then cool! Just kidding - she actually can grab/hit a few things if she feels like it. "Feeling like it" is the key. Is she our daughter or what?

yea, we're still flailing wildly too... but that seems to be more fun anyway!
oh dude, Lydia hardly grabs anything on purpose. but she seems to end up with her arms through the links on her playmat a lot.
As council to a future gangbanger, I would advise Miss Hakes to stop flashing gang-signs in court!
When Annika knows the difference between court, her playmat and the hallway, I'll be sure to advise her as such...however - will we have to have you on retainer? Her trust fund is..."on hold" for now...
BTW - have awsome image of Lydia trapped on her playmat. :) Thanks for the warning!
