Smiles for miles

After three weeks of mostly communicating through crying, shrieking, rooting, farting, and crying some more, Dahlia has found a much more fun way to communicate with us: smiling!

Dahlia smiles

We'd seen some gas-related "smiles" in the first few weeks, but these new smiles appear to be the real thing. She'll often respond (if she's happy) to a friendly face with a big smile of her own.

If she's really happy (and well fed), her whole face will bust out in a grin as wide as her pudgy little face. Those moments, however, have yet to be captured on camera. I'm sure Amy will get some good shots soon.

After all the hard work that Mom has gone through to feed little D properly, it's wonderful to receive some positive feedback. Thanks, Dahlia! Here's looking at years and years of your happy smiles.

Oh, and we've decided that Dahlia is almost certainly the most beautiful baby ever. Yeah, we're pretty sure about that.
