Then the baby wakes up, almost as if they can sense being on camera. They stretch their arms, rub their eyes, and give the softest yawn before opening their eyes. You can almost see the curiosity in the childโ€™s expression as they look around the room taking in their surroundings.

Thereโ€™s a moment when the child is distressed. They start to cry, perhaps wondering where mommy and daddy have gone off to. But donโ€™t worry if you donโ€™t like hearing baby cries, because the moment doesnโ€™t last long.

Because the child notices someone in the room with her. She slowly turns her attention to her father, the cameraman of this video. Daddy looks down on his baby and you can hear the smile as he says:

โ€œHi, Boogerโ€

The baby then points a tiny finger at him. Thereโ€™s an understanding in the childโ€™s expression that almost says, โ€œI know youโ€. The fit from moments ago is long gone, because the child recognizes her dad and feels comfortable and safe.

The father says โ€œLove youโ€ and the childโ€™s face lights up with a sweet soft smile. They giggle and laugh in between rubbing their eyes and stretching to wake up. We can only imagine that the baby is trying to hurry themselves to fully awake so they can enjoy every moment with dear olโ€™ dad. The video ends on this cute note.

Did you notice how the babies eyes lit up when she heard her fatherโ€™s voice? Some articles talk about how babies can hear and recognize their fatherโ€™s voice as early as after 24 weeks during pregnancy. We can only imagine how much loving care this father showed to their child during the early parts of their life.

What about the babyโ€™s silent pointing to acknowledge recognition? This could be babyโ€™s first steps towards communication and understanding. By responding to the babyโ€™s pointing, her father is helping enhance the childโ€™s ability to learn.

Itโ€™s amazing to think that something as small as saying hello, could have such a big impact. But the beauty and magic of babies is how they can make even the smallest things seem so very magical.

Has a baby ever smiled as soon as they noticed you were in the room?
