My baby just smiled at me!!! She has smiled a few times over the last week or so, but it was hard to say if it was a social smile or just gas. But there is no doubt my baby voluntarily smiled at me!! She was fussing in her bassinet because of that stupid flem she has right now. I picked her up and snuggled her against me like I always do. She looked straight up at me. I smiled and said to her "My baby", which is what I said to her a lot when she was in the NICU. I would sit next to her bed, hold her hand, and say over and over in a soft sweet tone "my baby". I was so thrilled when I saw her smile, I said it again "My baby" and she smiled again. If she had teeth it would have been a big toothy smile! What a gift she just gave me. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it!!
The first time we saw Cayman smile was actually on ultrasound. It's not a very good picture because she was moving around a lot and that created smudgy shadows on her and by the time they froze the screen her smile had faded to more of a grin. We cherish that we have a picture from that!!!

I could just be hormonal, but i'm crying. I love you, lady!!! Those smiles are worth everything we do in life. all the bad times disappear into learning experiences and good times. Nothing gets your heart like a child's smile. God bless!

She is soo beautiful. There is nothing like that first "I KNOW you just smiled at me" smile.
melt your heart indeed!........ there aren't words xoxo!
What a wonderful time! It's fun when they start smiling and interacting. I am sure it melted you heart. Did Mike get to see it??? Keep you camera handy and snap a pic next time :)
how precious!!! Maybe it's her way of telling you how thankful she is to have you! She is so lucky to have you and Mike!! I can't wait til our first smile from our little one! It seems that already our baby is continuously reminding me how much he/she is gonna bless my life. Last night we were laying in bed just listening to worship music (i had the headphones up to my belly....yup, i believe in all that!! I'm crazy!!) But anyways, and he/she started moving like crazy!! Hadn't moved all day. Nicholas even felt it. Aren't babies such a beautiful blessing?? Cayman is touching so many lives already in the month and a half that she has been here!! We love you guys!!
