cheese!

Just when you think a baby can't get any cuter, they learn to do this:

That's right...Genevieve is smiling now. She started doing this one week ago today. Due to her colicky nature in the evenings, she only smiles during the morning time. Unfortunately for me, that's when I work. Because of this, I didn't get to see her smile in person until Saturday. But I'll tell you this: it was worth the wait! My heart melted.

What's cute, too, is that her smiling nature is developing. At first, she would only smile in reaction to being smiled at. But on Saturday she was swinging in her swing, looking out the window (still her favorite thing to do) and started smiling ear to ear. So cute. It was completely unprovoked.

Her smiling makes me excited for what will come next (aside from her already developing a fake cry when she wants attention...it's so overtly fake, but also so adorable). She giggled in her sleep the other night. I can't wait until she giggles intentionally, while awake!

No matter what comes next though, I can guarantee one thing: my heart will melt!
