My baby daughter would light up and go aah whenever we played her favorite song, staring at the speaker like it was singing directly to her. Those little cooing moments could calm her down on the fussiest days, like music was her first language. If you notice your baby talking to something, jump in and join them. Those times became some of our happiest moments together.
My daughter used to start cooing during diaper changes, especially if I leaned in close and talked back to her. She'd make big eyes, slow "ooh" sounds, and little half-smiles like she was genuinely trying to hold a conversation. Albert R., dad of one, Memphis, Tennessee
