Your baby is a learning machine. 🧠 Consider for a moment just how much knowledge this little guy - whose language is still mostly unconventional - has absorbed about the world around him. Watch as he: • Engages in one half of a spirited - if imaginary - phone... call. He’s still sorting out the words, but his tone and cadence speak volumes about how carefully he’s listening to the important adults in his life. • Displays his knowledge of how a phone is held and used. • Knows to end the call with both a “bye-bye” and the act of hanging up. • Pauses for conversational turns and even laughs at his imaginary conversation partner’s story. Such an observant little guy! —— This expert cell phone user was shared to IG by camillmichele.show more

The adults around him must be generally happy people, because he knew that phone conversations should include at least one giggle. 😂 I love the way he scanned the room as if he was reporting what was happening at home. 😂🥰

I’m jealous of today’s parents of little ones! When my ( now 55yo) son was little taking pictures was expensive and problematic, a video was an impossible dream. You guys are so lucky to be able record these wonderful moments.

Do we have any cheek development experts in the house? Cause I feel like we to discuss baby cheeks … and maybe even cheeky babies 😂

Please watch this little Irish girl doing same thing.

That’s a great one! I’ve shared it before.

One of my boys spoke with the same sort of tone & cadence around the same age. So funny.

It’s amazing how they mimic our conversations and social cues. These moments prove that our little ones are always watching and learning!

Language has its own special genres. And your toddler is working to master them all. Not long ago, I shared a fantastic video example of a toddler engaged in a pretend phone call. He took conversational turns, laughed at his imaginary partner’s joke, and knew to end the call with a goodbye and pressing the “end call” button on his toy telephone. At less than 2 years old, he had the phone call genre down pat. Here’s another amazing example (shared to IG by walking_faith_4u): the bedtime story. Watch as this little one takes over “reading” duties - turning the tables on her adoring dad. I’ve shared lots of reading videos before, but this one is notable in its complexity. Listen as she uses variegated babbling (which combines a wide variety of syllables and sounds) to recount a lengthy story for dad. Listen as well to the tone and rhythm of her voice. It’s the same soft, flowy, and expressive style he uses to help calm her as she begins preparing to drift off to sleep post story. I’d say this little one has the “bedtime story” genre on lock. Isn’t it amazing to see how children concurrently learn not just language, but the different contexts and styles of its use? Just fantastic.

Bedtime stories are rich with learning opportunities. First, reading aloud to your little one daily is a fantastic vocabulary builder. Stories offer up a wide array of language - including words you may be less likely to use during your regular day-to-day interactions. Infants who are read to daily demonstrate a 40% greater vocabulary at 18-months. Want to give your baby a head start? You could hardly choose a better way than daily reading. And just look at what this little one knows about how books work. She’s an expert page turner, and is learning that we turn only one at a time. But my very favorite part of this video is how our hero splits her attention between the book and dad’s face. His reading voice is a little different from his regular speaking voice as he matches the author’s words and cadence, and she’s fascinated to see just how he’s doing it. Read, talk and sing with your baby. The dividends will amaze you - and set them up for a lifetime of success. This fantastic video was shared to IG by mylittlemissameliaa.

Marimar Martinez: I was escorted out through the back in a of the agents came up to me with his cell phone and took a photograph of me. It still haunts me that this agent has my photo on his phone. Was this the agent that shot me? Was this a trophy for him?

WATCH: Former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who was at the Kirk event, gets emotional as he reveals that President Trump called him last night to check in on him. You can hear how broken this man still is, but just how much the phone call from Trump meant to him. “But I will tell you this, since you and I spoke yesterday, just personally on the phone…I hope I can get through this part…the president called me.” “I was very touched by that.” “He talked about his love of Charlie and his family.” “That man, Donald Trump, is a rock. That guy is amazing.” “Everything going on in the world, and the president wanted to see how I was doing and wanted to talk about that beautiful lady and his family.” “It was a really good conversation. I’m very grateful that we have a president who cares the way he does.”

This guy snatched a Palestinian flag out of someone, and he dropped his phone. His friends bigged him up and said, "Go and lad." Watch how he lies to the Police and acts like the victim.

Cop pulls this guy over and insists that the sandwich he was eating was actually his cell phone. Even when corrected he doubles down on his incompetence. We are in Lawrence River Park where one of their Police officers pulls over a man eating a sandwich while driving because he is absolutely convinced he saw a cell phone in the driver’s hand. You can see the exact moment the officer gets corrected on it not being a cell phone, only to double down on his "expert" observation. Even after the driver explicitly tells him it’s a sandwich, the officer hits him with the classic, "I know what a sandwich looks like, it was your phone... a rectangular thing, whether it was your wallet, your phone, it looked like your phone." My guy, it has lettuce sticking out of it. Also the sandwich was sitting right on the passenger seat. Instead of just admitting he mistook a quick lunch for a distracted driving violation, he tries to save face by acting like he’s doing the driver a massive favor. He runs the license and wraps up the stop by saying he’s going to "trust" him and just issue a warning this time. If you're going to power trip over distracted driving, at least make sure the suspect isn't just trying to finish their midday snack. This is one of those 🤦 moments. At least he was not a total tyrant where he issued a citation or worse.

the camera being in a tight close up on both ilya and shane for the entirety of this scene, except for the moment when ilya is working up the courage to say he’s in love. it’s like for the whole conversation it’s just the two of them, there’s nobody else who matters, and then for a brief moment the shot widens as ilya considers the implications of the fact he’s in love with shane. the fact that the rest of the world DOES matter and will always be a presence in their relationship. we’ve been held in this moment between the two of them and by widening the shot, that intimacy is broken just for a second as we’re reminded that there is a world beyond the two of them and ilya is still in russia. what he’s doing is incredibly dangerous. then the camera tightens back into a close up as he realises he needs to say it anyway because all that matters is that he’s on the phone with shane and he’s in love with him. it really is just the two of them in this moment and he doesn’t want to let anyone else in.

“I’m proud of you for getting this far bud” This dad leaves his 12 year-old son alone in the Alaskan wilderness to camp and learn basic survival skills. The caveat is he’s only a phone call away. When his son needs him, he shows up to help, to encourage, to teach, and to offer a moment of companionship and cinnamon rolls. And he always tells him how proud he is. Is this good parenting? Or, is leaving your son alone in the woods pushing it too far?

“He’s trying to do it!” You know I love a good “serve and return” video (in which infants and parents engage in back and forth mirroring and extension of one another’s actions). We often see this with vocalizations, but as this fantastic video from brittdipp on TT shows us, this mimicry isn’t limited to speech. Watch as this little one works to mirror his father’s spider-like hand gesture in which he walks his fingers across the table to engage his son. One of the things this video illustrates particularly well is the importance of wait time. This is a complex task for our hero and his “return” is far from instantaneous. It requires real concentration. And you can see his mental gears turning! Watch how carefully he observes his own hand, initially managing to slide it back toward dad with mostly a closed fist. But after dad models once more, baby manages to more closely emulate dad’s model, spreading his little fingers spider-style. Such an observant little guy. And what a cool back and forth between them!

This Grandpa said he had bedtime covered... and then gravity said "I have other plans". 😂 Meanwhile, his Apple phone has detected a fall and is calling 911. The baby just stayed calm as if he’s used to this kind of thing. Just impressed he didn’t crush the baby. Then he climbs out like no big deal…and….. he left his phone so he can call it later and wake the baby up. 😂 How many drinks do we think Grandpa had ? 🥴

Guy was kidnapped from the Nova Festival, the last contact with him was in an urgent phone call that came from the field during the attack. In the background there was shouting, gunfire and chaos. The terrorists found him hiding under a tree. A terrorist pulled him out and asked him to turn around and then shot him in the back. He was transferred unconscious to Gaza and lay alone for a whole week, tied to his bed due to his severe wounds until he died. His body is still being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.

This guy stands in the parking lot holding his phone with a big grin while his wife on the other end of the call says “we are not purchasing a boat.” He just smiles wider like he already knows exactly how this day is going to end. The camera pans to show his lifted truck hooked up to the sleek white boat on the trailer. He tows it down to the water, launches it smooth, and the next thing you know he’s cruising across the lake with the boat slicing through the waves. Would you ever tell your husband “we are not purchasing a boat” over the phone and then watch him tow one anyway and spend the whole day on the water?

Orga has been tirelessly working to secure a stable future for his comrades, his only true family. He’s making sure they can all earn a decent living. In doing so, he’s had little time to care for himself. Though he projects a tough, commanding persona, Orga is still young at heart and he's navigating the complexities of adulthood and learning how adults think, act, and behave. As he grows into a responsible leader for his family, he’s had no time for romance so this might be his first real connection with a woman.. perhaps even his first love.

This is how to question a witness in a hearing. The tension is palpable as General Cane answered questions, it was as if he wasn’t able to speak freely. As for Hegseth, his bombastic belligerent attitude fools nobody, he’s totally unqualified and out of his depth in a post he holds not because of his ability, but because he’s a lapdog and Senator Pat Ryan destroyed him. 🎥 TikTok -

This is one of the most heartbreaking yet beautiful conversations I’ve heard. A father with cancer sits in the car with his daughter as she tells him how scared she is to live life without him. Through tears, she says she can’t go an hour without talking to him and that he’s the best dad in the world. Instead of letting the moment stay heavy, he gently reassures her — telling her that life lasts an eternity and that he’ll see her again. Even in his hardest moment, he’s still being her dad — comforting her and making sure she knows she’ll be okay. Hug your loved ones a little tighter today.
