Pouty lip...

My husband and I were goofing around with our daughter Zoe today, and we realized that whenever we make a sad face or use a sad tone in our voice, she gets a pouty lip and wells up with tears like she's about to cry. The minute we sound or look happy again, she quits and goes back to smiling/laughing. It was SO funny, we did it a couple time just to see if she'd have the same reaction. I had to share these pics, I just about died laughing she was so cute!

What a precious little girl! She's beautiful!

Awwww Jen, she's a sweetheart! I always loved watching my own babies immitating adult expressions when they were infants. How old is she?

Haha, well that is just precious!

:aww: She's absolutely adorable. Does she do that with anyone or just you guys?

Awe! She is adorable.

Oh my goodness! She's SO precious!!! Such a beautiful little girl!

Not sure, we're pretty much alone down here. My mother-in-law came to visit 2 weeks after she was born and my mom came down a month ago, but she wasn't doing this stuff yet. She really only has us to interact with. :)

Franky, she's 11 weeks old today. It's amazing how fast they grow!:O

The thing I find most interesting about the mimicry babies do is that in their first few months of life, babies can make every sound possible by humans...then listening to the adults around them, they begin a process of elimination of those sounds to only those sounds they hear repeatedly.

The enculturation and learning dynamic of young humans I find fascinating. =)

I love that too, we sit there and talk to her and say simple words to see what her reaction is. She babbles and coos a lot now, and she tries to imitate some words. If we say "Hiiiiiii", she'll try to say it. Not quite there yet, but in a month or two I think she'll have it. She's particularly fond of the "G" sound, everything starts with "Guh" and is followed by some other weird noise. lol!

It's really amazing how fast they learn things...just a few weeks ago she was quiet, didn't smile, didn't laugh, didn't coo, and was basically this little sleepy lump. Now she's bright eyed, grabbing things, watching TV, cooing and interacting, holding her bottle on occasion, standing up if she holds our thumbs...it's crazy.

That stage is so wonderful. Hopefully sleeping all night and still immobile! LOL! Enjoy it while you can. Once they start talking you can't get them to stop, and lord help you once they can get into everything because they will!!! ;)

She's been sleeping through the night since we brought her home, we were extremely lucky in that department. lol! Down around 10:30-11pm, up around 8-8:30am. She's really good about falling asleep on her own, we just put her in her bed with her binky and she's out within 10 minutes.

I'm looking forward to her being older and more mobile. I love how cuddly she is now but I'm really having fun with her as she becomes more interactive. She can already roll over and scoot around in circles...she'll be into everything before we know it. lol!

Sleeping throught the night from the get go? WOW!! :worship: Actually I had one like that, and my other only woke up to eat and went right back to sleep. So I shouldn't complain. :oops:

So adorable!! :sunny:

That first pic especially is adorably hilarious! :aww:
