Hey, everybody. Hope you're doing well. Been a while, but I thought I would dip in and give you

all a little social media stuff, some of the stuff I've bookmarked, which I think is kind of neat and cool.

First one. Here's one of the most fascinating child development videos, says this guy I've ever shared.

As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set.

After a period of early experimentation with sound, including cries, coos, and gurgles,

infants begin babbling, making speech like sounds, which often include components of conventional

speech that are nonetheless not yet conventionally meaningful.

Anyway, so this is really neat.

So let's look at this baby,

sign language with grandma and grandpa.

And the baby is gesturing in sign language.

So it's kind of like babbling in sign language.

I'm fascinated to hear what you talk about.

Wow. Wow. And there's this eagerness. Look at that. Eagerness and love of communication. She's telling us all about her busy day, expressing it all. I don't obviously do sign

language, but I'm sure that something has something to do that. You had a very long nap today. Did you have good dreams? And of course, babies have more

control over their hands than they have over their tongues and mouths. So, yes, we're curious,

and there's a back and forth, and there's a gesturing. I mean, babies are just incredible.

They are just absolute machines.

Babies, it's the most brilliant phase of all.

You're learning a whole new language, learning how to use your body, learning how to socialize,

learning how to empathize.

It's just amazing.
