What do we expect from our baby?

On Jan. 4th Alana rolled over for the first time. I was so happy and proud! I got so excited Alana laughed out loud at me too. I am always reading blogs about other babies and how or what they are doing. All I want is the best for Alana. I don't want her to fall behind her age group. To be ahead well then we would want to brag right? It's human nature my baby is better then yours, mine sleeps better. In the end does it really matter? We all want the best for our children. Should we push them into schedules that don't budge? Should we have them on a sleep routine at 3 months? Every child is different they grow at different rates and hit their milestones at different times. By trying to get them to do what we want in our time and our schedule are we bringing them up to feel like failures because they can't keep up?

I have been playing with Alana face to face, singing, doing tummy time and having her hold toys. I don't want her watching to much T.V. or just sitting or laying around with little play or stimulation. Am I over stimulating her?
