Our Smiley Guy

Ohh, baby smiles!! I like to think of them as little thank-yous or even affirmations that you're doing a good job as a parent. Take this first one for example...

His smile seems to be saying, "Thank you for staying up with me from 4:00 - 5:30 this morning...that was a long one! Love ya, Mommy!" Awww, was it really an hour and half?! I hardly remember! :)



And I think God times those very first smiles for exactly when moms and dads need them. When they feel like they can't keep their eyes open for another middle-of-night feeding, or after they've been pooped on/peed on/spit-up on over and over again, or they feel like they're not doing anything right. Then a smile comes, and you think...I can do it. I've got this.


This is so cute.


He's run out of smiles. Is he just thinking...or pooping?!?!
