Babbles and Coos and Smiles OH MY!

K-Mac has been smiling in her sleep since she was 2 weeks old.  We'd sit there for hours, taking turns capturing her sleepy smiles.  What she may have been dreaming of (my guess was designer diapers and toddler boys) we'll never know, but it sure made her happy.  It is an incredible feeling now, in just the past two weeks, she's begun to smile at US.

She cries in her crib, we walk into her room, BAM, all smiles.  She's hungry, she sees us with a bottle and WOW, smiles.  She's playing in her swing/boppy/activity gym while we walk by, lock eyes and POW, smiles.

But now we are branching out in our self expression universe.  K-Mac doesn't just smile at her daddy and I.  She TALKS.

This started around week eight.  She will belt out a long coo that sounds something like "Aaaohh" and "Merrowww" and "A-wah".  We'll ask her questions to engage her and she'll respond with one of her words.  My favorite activity is repeating what she says.  She gets visibly excited by our interaction and will continue.  We'll go back and forth in her made up language and she'll kick and coo, all the while rocking out to a big toothless grin.  I can't wait to learn more imaginary words with her.  K-Mac, you are truely the best teacher I've had.
