Conversations with Willa

First, apologies for the sporadic posts.  One of my goals is to become more regular with updates here, since this is the best way for me to keep track of Willa's first months.  If only I were better with writing pages from my phone!  Alas I have to wait for the rare instances when I can settle down with the computer while she is napping and I don't have more pressing housework to accomplish.  Hopefully now that I'm back at work (where I did the majority of my blog posts between clients) I can be more productive.

That being said, the headline of the month has been that Willa has grown so much!  We had our first smiles a couple of weeks ago.  They started as quick little half smiles that we weren't sure were meant for us and not a gassy tummy.

She's so cute here that I'm going to count it as a first smile, even though its doubtful!

 One magical morning Jeremy rolled over to say "good morning" while she was still swaddled in her cosleeper, and she lit up!  I missed photographing that one, but luckily it became fairly routine and I caught a picture of it the next morning.

 Very grainy due to the low light, but precious!

Fast forward only a couple of weeks, and now she has little "conversations" with us, uttering little syllables and waiting for us to respond.  It is the best!! For the first time I feel like we are interacting in verbal ways, and I especially try to engage her when she says "mamamamamam."  C'mon first word!

I was quick enough to catch one of these on video the other day, so I'll post it here for your consideration of the brilliance of our conversations, enjoy!!
