The cutest newborn moments frequently occur while a camera is out of reach. However, a mother or father’s excellent timing can sometimes result in a beautiful memory to treasure for years. This is demonstrated in this video of a baby twin duet.

Twin babies in swaddling blankets look up at the camera. They produce the nicest facial expressions while listening to their mother sing over them. They start contorting their features and moving their lips. They finally start singing along with Natalie, their mother.

‘Our precious infant twins have been hearing this music since they were in the womb,’ says the mother. Natalie Ledbetter contributed writing. They were four months old in this video, but because they were born prematurely, their adjusted age was just two months!’

With their eyes wide open, the twins look at their mother and listen. As she sings, they produce gorgeous little smiles and quirky expressions. They are staring at her the entire time she is singing to them.

‘When I started singing, they suddenly lit up and knew exactly what to do,’ Natalie writes. Sure enough, the twins begin to speak. In an attempt to create words, they make sounds and shape their lips.

2 months old is roughly the earliest a parent or caregiver should expect to hear vocalizing from a baby. They can ‘coo’ and ‘gurgle.’ Some babies make vowel sounds like the twins in this video.

Babies communicate with sounds and also with smiles. They wait for an adult response and often mimic what they see their parent do with their face. These twin babies decided to mimic the singing right down to the shape of the lips. It is a much-needed, daily dose of adorable!
