He probably also is making the connection between the voice and vibrations he has learned to recognize. Wow.

Awesome, simply awesome. Was having a bad day until I saw this. To see a kid smile like that and to see the contentment. Made my day.

When Hugh mentioned the vibrations I wonder how different the 'feel'
of sound is in the womb? And how much of that memory plus the open air vibrations contributed to the smile?

What a beautiful little boy. The pure delight on Jonathan's face can't help but warm your heart. I, too, wonder why the mother didn't say, I love you!!! Perhaps she was too overwhelmed.
