Molly is nine weeks old today. In the brief moments when she's not eating, sleeping or screaming she is full of smiles. She babbles and makes flirty faces.
I read somewhere that a good way to develop a baby's language skills at this age is to repeat her sounds back to her. Most of the things I read like this don't get much of a reaction out of Molly. She doesn't have much interest in toys and she doesn't react to raspberries on her belly and other silliness.
The first time I mimicked her sounds, though, she got all worked up and happy. She started breathing fast and made this cute half smile as if she was thinking, "hey, maybe you're not such an idiot after all."
Jim plays this game with her, too. The more you mimic her sounds, the more she chatters. So cute!
