My life is now complete- December 13, 2010
She smiled at me! She smiled! It wasn’t gas. It wasn’t the funny baby faces that kind of look like smiles. She’s been doing that. But, a full on smile. I heard it was supposed to happen around 6 weeks.
We were all on the couch, (Ginger too) watching Love Actually. (Greyson always makes sure we watch it at least once at Christmas. Yep, he’s a sap. But, he’s my sap!) Little did I know, this year while watching that movie I’d have one of the best moments of my little life.
I had Charlotte and lifted her up after burping her. I said, “I love you.” She gave me the biggest, sweetest, toothless smile I’d ever seen. Greyson laughed and said, “Ah! Wow! It’s a real smile!” I just started crying. I cried, kissing my little baby, and holding her tight to me trying to bottle up the moment forever.
My Christmas came early. I can die a happy woman.

It is so nice to hear this. I want to remember things like this. Right now I'm stuck in a rut, being the mom who always ruins someone's life or the mom who never understands or the mom who made dinner food that's disgusting.
Babies are so wonderfully simple. You are so blessed.
Now you just made me cry… what a perfect moment to capture.
Yay!!! I know just how you feel…I'm completely obsessed! Poor Hudson has me poking at his cheeks literally all day long! I can't get enough. I think I might just explode when he starts to giggle!
Awwww! This totally made me tear up. These are the best moments of being a Mom.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas in advance
