All Things Mouth

Logan decided to exercise his face muscles last week in the form of a few more firsts - conversations, imitations and smiles. I don't think that I can pick a favorite.

He started to “talk” last week. In his good, alert moments he will go back and forth for a little while. It is amusing to me what I now consider a good conversation.

Logan also started to imitate facial expressions, well, sticking his tongue out. I have been doing it for days now to see if he would do it also so when he finally did, I was not sure if he was hungry or copying me. Sure enough, he was imitating me. That is the only thing that I have gotten him to imitate so far, but it is a start!

While I said above that it is hard for me to pick a favorite, I think this one is it - Logan's smiles. As I said in a previous post, he has been getting close to smiling. He has been smiling in his sleep for weeks and sometimes while awake. He now has gotten to the point where he can control his smiles. Of course, I never seem to be able to do the same thing two times in a row to draw out the smile again and the camera is never around. But I know that he will start to do it more and more now that he has started. 

Below are pictures taken over the past week.
Hanging with Daddy

Such a cutie (not spit up on my chest but water from washing my face, just so you know)

Passed out - still love it!

I have my eye on you, Grinch.  Don't take my Christmas!  (Thanks for the new friends, Aunt Kristin)
