Diana was carrying laundry into Maia's room when she came across Bella sitting up all by herself; talking to her reflection in the mirror.
Diana placed the laundry basket on the floor and knelt down to Bella. Noticing her mother's presence, Bella looked up, smiled and began to babble at her. Diana planted a kiss on the little one's forehead, then hurried off to find Marco. After finding him, she began to drag him to Maia's room.
"Diana, what is going on?"
"Bella is sitting up by Maia's mirror, talking to herself."
"She's been talking to herself for awhi- wait, did you say sitting up?"
"Yeah," Diana said, mockingly exasperated and brought Marco to Bella.
Bella looked up at her parents, smiled beautifully and waved, then returned to her mirror counterpart.
"See?" Diana grinned, "She's sitting up all on her own."
"Yeah, but I think she's more interested in the mirror right now." Marco replied, watching his daughter in awe.
