Jake started smiling at us last month, and we just can't get enough! He gets so excited when we hover over him, talking like idiots and grinning. He starts wiggling and kicking and his eyes light up, and just recently he figured out how to get his mouth, tongue and throat to all work together and coo at us. It's great! Haley really loves it and runs over whenever she hears me talking to him. She'll open her eyes wide in this exaggerated (and slightly hilarious) way and say, "Hi, Jake! Hi, hi, hi!" in a loud falsetto. From his reaction it's clear these two are going to be good friends growing up.
