Baby Genius.....we think so!

At some point babies understand the game of imitation. Some babies even imitate within hours after birth, sticking out their tongue after watching Mom or Dad. So it's no surprise that Ryanna plays the imitation game and has since she was brand new in her own little ways. In the last few weeks, however, we have noticed that she tries to copy the sounds and physical actions we make, especially with our mouths.
It is so fun to watch her learn from us!


Okay, we'll say it - Ryanna is a genius! I was getting her ready for bed and singing songs. Sometimes I sing the "I love Daddy he loves me.....we are a HAPPY family" song. Well, I thought I heard her say happy....and it made me pause for a minute and clean out my ears. So I sat her up and said directly to her "Happy" - slow and clear. Well she said it back! I brought her downstairs to show Brian and we recorded this. Go ahead and tell us if we are crazy but I'll say it one more time, I have my very own baby genius! (We realize as first time parents we may be a bit overenthusiastic....hehe)


I just wanted to note that I do not always dress like a hobo and have yucky hair.

So that event and the cleanup that followed mostly accounts for my disheveled appearance. Mostly....
