All smiles

First off, it's been one year since the pregnancy test, and almost a year since I started this blog. Looking back it's amazing how the changes in life keep coming faster and faster. At the start it was Yup – pregnant. Come back in 2 months for your scan. Now we seem to hit a new milestone each week now. Every moment seems to be full with something, yet somehow I blink and four months have passed.

One of the most rewarding things so far is all the smiles. They kicked in just after week 6 – just like the books say. She started off doing this wide toothless :D with her tounge just sticking out a bit. She'd also always immediately shy away. In the months in between then and now she's learned much more control. She has a range from light closed-mouth grin all the way to full on smiling with gums and everything.

The first thing she does after waking up is smile. It's lovely, but I'm worried we might have a morning person. Even if she wakes up hungry or after a fit of complaining, once her eyes open properly and she sees me, she just gives me this heartmelting wide grin that I just can't get enough of. She giggles too on occasion, but mostly it's a silent giggle that ends in a bit of a wheeze. She needs to work on that, but at least we know what she means.
