Sweet Little Ellie,
You have been smiling since the day you were born. You are a smiley girl! We have so many great pictures of you smiling, smiling, smiling. You are so precious!
But for the most part, your smiles have been here and there with no real rhyme or reason... until today. I picked you up from your crib this morning, kissed your forehead and snuggled you close like I do every morning. When I looked down you were smiling. I sat down with you and tickled your little chin and began talking to you... you continued to smile. I could not believe it! You are only a month old and are giving full blown, purposeful smiles.
You are so full of expression... we always know what you are thinking by the look on your cute little face. When I try to give you a binkie and you don't want it, you spit it out and give me a look of disgust. When you are tired you will flash your half smile that says, I love you.
Your smiles mean the world to us...
Much love,
Mom
