Show me that smile again

Today, my four-week-old daughter, Sophie, smiled at me. 

She looked right into my eyes and cracked a grin. And it lasted a while, too. 

Now, I realize it was probably gas. The professionals say that babies aren't able to smile for happy reasons till they're a few months. 

However, I had a friend tell me her kids logged smiles at six weeks. 

Then again, I tend to smile when gas comes out of me, too. 

Whatever the reason, I'm marking this day down. My kid, whom I helped create, did a very real human thing, beyond just pooping or crying or sleeping (or not sleeping).

My baby smiled at me. 

I feel both awesome and humbled at the same time.
