WARNING: This baby will smile at you now.At nearly 3 months on Vita is getting giddy every day. We're extremely surprised at how happy she is when she wakes up everyday. Whenever we go up to her in the bassinet ,or pick her up after hearing her morning mumbles, she just smiles.
Luckily, since she can't move very well yet, I've been laying down on the couch, laying her on top of my chest with her feet against the back of the couch, and letting her lounge - look - play - talk. I'm groggily nodding my head and mumbling back at her. This usually happens at 7 a.m.; mind you, I don't usually go to work until 10 a.m. most days.
One thing thats really amazing is she will match the tone of your voice or expression with her own soundings. I was trying to hum her to sleep last night and she turned it into a game by matching the tone of my voice with her cooing. (Much to my chagrin I was thinking, "I'm trying to go to sleep too....") She'll do the same with certain vocal verses of music that are uncomplicated. "Across the Universe" the soundtrack has been added to put a little remix on The Beatles tracks we play daily.
Overall, her exploratory mode is increasing with herself and her surroundings. She's discovered she can extend just one finger with her hand, or use both hands to hold something up - i.e. her bottle. This is usually clumsy or awkward, but nonetheless it is MONUMENTAL to be cognizant of both hands. Keeping one hand open or closed is a big hit right now too. For some of you, being able to type over 20wpm was a big benchmark, for me - i will get a big kick out of her learning how to point at things.
