The little man loves to babble these days, but especially on the changing table. It actually mimics a conversation with one of us making a noise, then J responding with his input. Some of D and I's best talks are now with the monkey over dirty diapers instead of a nice glass of Pinot (oh how life has changed!). He's pretty good with the long and short "o" sounds, we get a few loud "ahhhoooo" (short "a", long "o"), and even some "l" and "g" sounds. He really gets going if we start laughing. J really likes the "Uh Oh" too and he can almost do it. We've started playing peek-a-boo with him and the smiles we get are awesome! He has this look of confusion when our hands are over our face, then flashes a HUGE smile when we take them away. Being a parent has always been great but it's so much more fun now that we know he recognizes us. If we could just get rid of the smelly spit-up (Derek's been through three t-shirts in the past 12 hours) we'd be all good :)
