The First Smile

Okay - so her first smile was at about 6am on Christmas Eve morning. It's always kind of a guessing game at first, since a smile looks just like a baby's reaction to gas in the tummy. But, this was a beautiful Christmas gift that Emily happened to witness - as she had awoken early to Julie's hungry cries - and came in to help me. (Such a sweet girl, our Emily) I didn't capture it on film until a week later - but here we'll share it with you...


Then this is her "Jared" look. Daddy always schrenches up his brow like this...


Here is a gorgeous one she gave Mommy while Daddy took the picture. She is always quick to beam her smiles at me when I take the time to look her in the eyes and say hello...
