The next Einstein?

Is there no end to my daughter's brilliance? Barely eight weeks old and already she can lift her head off the ground, do a mini press up and say hello (she did, I heard it).

Today, she added to her amazing abilities by holding - yep, actually holding - a rattle in her tiny hands. I was all for calling MENSA until I received my latest email update from www.babycentre.co.uk.

Ever since I was pregnant I've been getting weekly updates from the parenting website telling me what new stuff my baby should be able to do.

Turns out holding their heads steady and grabbing rattles are annoyingly normal for two months old babies.

Nothing about saying hello though, is there, eh?
