First Smiles!




The last 4 days have passed in a blur of sleeplessness brought on by a prolonged duration of gassiness (Henry's, not mine...hee hee). Cross your fingers that he has crossed the threshold and entered in to a more contented phase now.


So...the big news for today is that we reached a new (and thoroughly delightful) milestone...the "responsive smile." Up until this point, we've only seen the "reflexive smile;" a smile that is merely a result of physical reactions and not emotion. These smiles, in contrast, are definitely in response to my smiles and noises. I'm able to make him smile by smiling, etc., rather than him just randomly smiling like he used to do. He kind of does a weird Popeye smile a lot (second picture). I thought the third picture here looks exactly like he's winking and giving the A-OK sign with his right hand. Hee hee hee.
