When Elliot was born she knew my voice right away. I had talked to her through the belly every night and every morning since I knew she was in there. It obviously had an impact because the moment she came out (after a bit of freaking out) she settled and, with a look of recognition, settled on Chris and I as the familiar voices.
Now since she’s learned to smile it is even more fun. I usually get a pretty good smile out of her in the morning before I leave for work. But I’m there in front of her in those cases. This short video clip shows her getting a phone call from dad and reacting the same way she does in the morning without even being able to see me. It makes perfect sense for an older child to react, but it was special to see that Chris had captured this while she was only 2 months old.

Too cute!
You could be in the worst mood, but just hearing your little one puts a smile on your face. It makes you realize how unimportant and important some things are!
