Dear Carolyn,
Although you’ve been smiling in your sleep since the day you were born, and you’ve even smiled while awake many times in the past couple of weeks, today was the first smile I think you truly meant for me. You were making your little “oh” face, where your eyes are big and surprised looking, and your mouth forms a cute little “oh” shape. I made it back at you, and you smiled the biggest smile, and let out a little giggle-shriek. You really are the cutest baby ever.
We also went to our first Sit & Knit tonight. You wore the pretty purple jacket Lisa made for you. You were convinced you wanted to nurse, but since you had just before we left, we tried the binky instead. I hate how blissed out you look when you have that in your mouth – it’s like a baby drug. But you love it, and we only use it once or twice a week, so I guess it’s ok. You had a good time staring at all the lights at Starbucks. I never realized how fascinating lights are until you came along. You flirt with the halogen lamp in Grandma’s living room. Did I mention you’re the cutest baby ever?
Love, Mommy
