Sophie just after a feed
Hi Everyone,
Sophie started smiling about 2 weeks after birth, but we treated them like muscle spasms because Andrrw fed her from a cup, so it might have triggered the corner muscles.
But as the weeks progressed, she got better at controlling them and when she does smile, our hearts melt into tiny little pieces, and we coo back to her like idiots!
Right now, the best time to catch her smiling is: just after a feed, while on the change table with her butt bare for all to see (hence not too many photos of her smiling - too embarassing!!!), basically any time when she isn't pissed off or asleep (yes, she even smiles during feeds and after a poo explosion!).
Here's a few I did manage to catch:
She opens her mouth when she wants to give kisses
She learnt to poke her tongue out from Andrew, but somehow she only shows them to me!
"I'm adorable, and I know it!"
She does this adorable nose crinkled smile which is really elusive for the camera. Maybe I can get it via the video.
Andrew and I cannot withstand the power of her smiles, especially now that she chortles, laughs and chuckles very effectively with her smiles.
The one I can never resist is the gummy smile...
