When you first become a parent, the intensity of the love you feel for your child can take you by surprise — but what's even more mind-blowing is when you realize that your little one loves you right back. There's nothing like seeing your baby's face light up when you walk in a room and knowing that they're your number one biggest fan!
In a super sweet video posted on June 25, a baby girl is watching TV when she sees something pretty exciting: Her mom! It's not a home video, either: Her mom is sports reporter Bradey King, a member of the Denver7 sports team, and apparently her daughter is very proud!

"Get you someone that looks at you like this," wrote @bradeyking . The look on her face was beyond priceless . She could not have been more delighted to see her mom on the screen! This baby is of course way too young to understand what her mother does for a living, but that doesn't mean she's not a loyal member of her audience.
"Mommy's biggest fan," wrote Dombo.
"She's so proud of you," wrote Laura M.
"No one is more excited than baby," wrote JuLeS.

When Do Babies Start Recognizing Their Parents?
According to Verywell Family, your baby recognizes you from birth .
“'Your baby’s brain begins developing in the womb. By the time they arrive, they can recognize your voice,' says Lisa P. Hoang, MD, a pediatrician at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, Calif. and a mom of a 4-year-old. As they get older, infants' brains continue to develop, and their ability to recognize, remember and even miss the people around them grows."
Studies have shown that hearing your voice in utero helps babies to develop an "innate preference" for you after they're born, in addition to "important auditory learning and memory skills." Once they can start to see you, they become even more attached.
"Their ability to recognize the faces of their parents and other relatives evolves quickly over their first year of life. 'Frequency of exposure — essentially, the more times they see and interact with loved ones like grandparents, aunts, and uncles — plays a huge role in who they are able to recognize,' says Dr. Hoang."
Before you know it, your little one will be able to spot you in a crowd with no problem...or on a screen!
