Smiles, coos & manipulation

Luke is flashing smiles at us these days - started at 7 weeks..... just as Grandma Margaret and Papa Tim arrived for a visit. Perfect timing! He's also working on making some adorable baby noises and is beginning to kick up a storm. The newborn phase seems to have disappeared for the most part.

As for Ella, she amazes us everyday with the things she says. We often can't believe she's only 2 and a half. This morning she worked Seth and I against each other. She took a movie she wanted to watch into Seth as he was getting ready for work and asked if she could watch it. I didn't overhear the conversation, but had a feeling I knew what he'd tell her. In she comes into the kitchen and asks if she can watch the movie. I told her maybe after naptime (per usual), and she then told me that Daddy had told her she could. I asked if he had said that or if he'd really told her to ask me. Yeah, she said to the latter. Really, how is is possible she's this young and trying to work us over already? She's our first so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Anyone else? Anyway, the conversation ended with her telling me she really wanted to watch the movie right now and giving me the sad eyes as she walked off into the living room....
