Hana's development. (3months)

Bismillah.

Alhamdulillah, Hana is 3months and 4 days old today :)

Because time flies very rapidly, and Mama sometimes misses those beautiful moments together (though I didnt want that to happen). So, it is best for me to have a checklist regarding Hana's development, so that I can always catch up on what I am supposed to focus on. This one I got from babyzone website. The ones highlighted in green are those Hana had managed to do, as at 29 December 2012. Alhamdulillah :)
