…they do! Every parent tells me this, but it’s really true! Mio turned 29 weeks yesterday, and her smiles have changed. Before, they’d creep across her face and were given with a bit of reservation, oftentimes disappearing after a few seconds. In the last few days, her smiles seem to have keyed up a notch and are a lot more enthusiastic and wholehearted… I’m not sure how else to describe it except that they’re so animated that they take up her entire face! Her nose scrunches up, her eyes disappear into crescents, and her mouth opens wide to reveal her toothy grin (well, as toothy as you can get with just two bottom teeth). They are the most adorable smiles I’ve ever seen, and are truly infectious!

Loving it!

She scrunches her face in a smile!

Can't get enough of those smiles!

Always getting distracted by Mama, even when she's with Daddy... love how her eyes always follow me around the room. (I win!)

…and I shall end with yet another photo of that smile of hers. Just can’t get enough of them! πŸ˜›

Look at that smile!
