This morning Maggie smiled at me--a great big grin after she locked eyes with mine. This was no gas smile, and it melted my heart.
She seemed to smile at Jonathan on Sunday, but we weren't positive if it was really authentic. It probably was, and I was a little jealous that she hadn't smiled at me yet.
I've been a little frustrated because she was sleeping so well before daylight savings time ended, and now she's waking up every three hours. That's hard to adjust to when you're used to sleeping 7 hours straight before she wakes up. That smile made everything worth it though. It's funny how something as simple as a smile can erase any other negative feeling and line up your perspective again.

luckily, you will start to see things like that on a daily basis. It makes the sometime mundane tasks of motherhood all worth it for that one smile or giggle!
oh, and the good thing about babies, is that their schedules are constantly changing...I am sure she will be back to her old sleep habits soon!
That is so sweet!
It is so true, something as little as a smile makes it so much easier to handle those 2 am feedings. Hope you guys are doing well. We should get Maggie and Marc together for their first play date!!!
THE GIRLS STARTED SMILING AT ME AWHILE AGO AND IT MAKES ME SMILE SO BIG I LOVE IT! AND IT DOES HELP WITH THOSE HARD TIMES. MY GIRLS HAVE BEEN HAVING A HARD WEEK TOO AND IT IS EVEN HARDER WHEN THEIR SCHEDULES GET MESSED UP BECAUSE THERE IS TWO OF THEM!
