Born to be social?

    This little baby is working hard to keep her eyes on Mom and share smiles with her.  Baby doesn't quite have control of her head and body so she often loses eye contact.  You can see her work hard to get it back.  With this kind of encouragement from Mom, baby will soon be ready to start "talking" to Mom as well.

Coping with toddler overload at Christmas

     This little guy has a bad case of Christmas overload.  His family does a nice job of trying to show him that he has more presents without pushing him to open them.  He just can't get himself together, but a cuddle with Mom might help him settle down while the rest of the family opens their  presents.

Proud Daddy

      The best thing about this video is the way that Dad sounds. He is so proud and excited about his baby learning to walk. Really little kids can understand the feelings that Dad has even if they don't understand all the words.. Hearing Dad sound so proud helps kids want to learn and do more.

How many holiday presents does a baby need?

    This little guy is having a good time!  Does he care about what is in the present?  Maybe, maybe not.  Kids this age want to explore the ribbons, the wrapping paper, the box, and then maybe the present.  Many babies might enjoy opening two or three presents, but that is about all they need to have a good time.
