baby ways
its amazing to be able to notice day to day differences in Naomi. she is now nearly 2.5 months old now. she now smiles in response to a smile from someone and depending on the stimulation she will even let out a little giggle (my favorite trick is to grasp her hands and do a little cha-cha-cha with her, usually getting a laugh in response)
she even attempts to communicate, in the sense that she looks straight at you and mouths out sounds. she will even do that to her reflection in the mirror (sometimes is sounds like she is even sounding out a litany of complaints to her mirror-twin). i understand this is something called "cooing", although I fail to see how she sounds at all like a pigeon when she does this.
the flip side of this is that the more alert and aware she is, the less she seems to want to sleep. there are days when poor jenn sends me an IM saying that naomi wanted to be held all day and would fuss the minute she is put down. hopefully, this is not a precursor of her developing personality. although it does say jenn is the soft touch of the two of us and i have to be the bad cop. (kidding, sweetheart)
yet somehow jenn manages to continue on her quest to photograph every single expression that naomi has. she's done quite well in this actually, except for a pout that she has seen on naomi's face only once (I haven't seen it either). this is a shot that your heart just has to go out to:
can you say no to this face?
