HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

They sent me photos! And he's smiling. SMILING. When I opened up the email this morning and saw that sweet face smiling back at me I gasped out, "oh my gosh," and immediately started crying.



I hadn't realized that I'd never seen him smile before. I mean, really smiling, not just a newborn grimmace. No, this kid is SMILING! And I just melted. I guess it just hit me that I hadn't seen any sort of expression on his face before. Before, it had been just alertness and mild curiosity, but mostly he'd sleep. Now there's more than that!



It's exciting and wonderful and sweet, and I love seeing that his facial features are just as expressive as mine are. And he's the most beautiful boy in the whole world!

  1. He IS such a beautiful boy. I get very giddy when there are new photos too. I am such a proud auntie. It is fantastic seeing him smiling and happy. Of course, you KNEW he'd be happy. These photos just confirm that he is. Ugh. So freakin' cute.

  4. Thanks. I was just thrilled to see he's already got personality! I love that more than anything. Cute? Yeah, but that's usually a given with babies. USUALLY. ;)

  5. you popped out a good one ;-)

    I know it's part of the agreement, but it's pretty cool that you get to follow his development and not only that but with this blog as he gets older he will be able to see how much you loved him and that you were always a part of his life...even if you are far away. Very cool indeed.
