Smiles

After a few days of attempting to smile which resulted in debatable but exciting new mouth movements, little Freddy cracked a big one tonight. HUGE, open-mouthed and juicy. And then, to show it wasn't a fluke - did it 3 more times. It was during his bathtime and they were all for me. And im floating on cloud nine.

Its such a simple thing, but so incredible. Cant explain.

Thank god that smiles come early during the development cycle. Imagine having to wait for six months for a smile!! No thank you. Instead, I can look forward to more and more over the coming days.

*sigh*

All is well still. Freddy continues to be an incredibly alert and active little man. He kicks constantly, throws his arms in windmills and has the strongest little neck. He feeds like a baby intent on winning a chubby baby contest and extra rolls on his thighs and chin are starting to appear. He's really beginning to 'coo' and experiment with his voice - but i admit I will sad if his horse noises are totally replaced. His ability to sleep through the night has gone a bit pear-shaped the past few nights, but I'm hoping it is just a phase.

Smiles rock. Give someone you love a big one. It will make their day.

Hi Heather, I just did a spot of time-travel and looked at your blog 2005 style. Loving the Chuck Norris thing, had no idea your middle name was Nicole and learned that in Bermondsy street you also had trouble with the hot water. How different things are now. I have also been smiling at everyone. Missing you and sending all my love.
