Emma smiled--And it Wasn't Gas!

Emma woke me up this morning at 7:30 to eat. There was nothing unusual about that. So I fed her and burped her. Then I laid her on my lap and talked to her. The past couple days she has been making eye contact really well and trying out little half-smiles but never quite managing the real thing. But this morning, while I was talking to her, she looked at me and SMILED!! It was a full-blown smile! And then she talked back as best she could. Just that one smile made all of the sleepless nights worth it!

I'm so excited to be able to watch her grow and to be able to interact more and more with her. She's starting to be awake more which is fun. (Except when she cries.) And she's definitely getting heavier.

A girl I used to work with had her baby about two months premature and she'll be able to come home soon but she's still so tiny. Right now she weighs three pounds and three ounces! I'd be so scared to bring home a baby that small!
