Good Morning Jacob
As I was saying to Jacob, "I don't know what your thinking, but I know we are having a conversation!" Jacob definitely enjoys talking in the morning. I was originally hoping he would go back to sleep after Michelle fed him this morning because she was going in to work and I did not get much sleep the last few days. However, Jacob insisted that we sit down for a light discussion. I know that Jacob and Michelle have been talking a lot. His eyes and face brighten up as you go over the day's agenda. He is also in that stage were he is doing a broad range of system checks. Hay, that appendage is moving again, and these lips do pucker up! But some thing are clearly correlated. He recognized mom's and dad's voices and faces. He also is clearly smiling during our talks. This is not the gas induced grimace, but definitely a smile. In fact a couple of time over the last few days he has laughed. Now I know it is too early for him to get a joke, but each time it has happened has been while I have him laying along my side (On my tummy) and I have been laughing myself. The first couple of times it took me by surprised, "Surely not", I thought. But after a few repeat performances, I am convinced that Jacob must think that dad's voice/grumblings/laughter must be ticklish to his ears. There is something intangible about how a baby picks up on the "mood" of dad or mom. And that is a joy truly only appreciated until you are yourself a parent.
