Right now, for the most part, Annabelle sleeps, eats and soils her diaper.
She's only about a month and a half old, so this is in line with what you'd expect.
Except over the last couple days, Jen and I have noticed something.
Annabelle has smiled.
She has looked up at us and grinned a toothless grin. I managed to catch one of them on camera.
I caught our older daughter, Sophie, smiling at about the same age.
As with Soph, Annabelle's grin melted my heart.
Sure, it was probably gas. (I said the same thing about Sophie's smile.)
But it is another sign of our daughter's growing humanity.
And this little person, barely 10 pounds, is someone I helped create.
It still leaves me feeling both awesome and humble at the same time.
