Smiles Are Free… For Now
Whoever said that the best things in life are free was on to something. Baby A is nearly 3 months old now and is becoming more aware of herself and the world around her. Smiles and little giggles are becoming more common each day. We are no longer assuming the smiles are from gas or a bad belly.
She must think her old man makes the best goofy faces as I can get a smirk with just the raising of an eyebrow. Another winner is farts; farts and babies go together like peanut butter and jelly. She is a chip off the old block.
It is a powerful feeling when you are the cause of the grin on that little face. The sense of accomplishment makes you feel like you are Super Dad – I mean come on, it takes some serious skills to get this:
Do I have a booger in my nose? Something in my teeth? As long as it gets a smile, it is fine by me.
From this:
"...Mom!..."
I should enjoy it while I can, before I know it the only things that’ll make her smile will be cellphones and boys (Arg!).
In conclusion, Mommy is comfy, and Daddy is funny looking.

Thanks Eric,
It’s been a lot of work getting everything going again with the blog but I’m glad I made the change.
Thanks for the updated link Jared, really appreciated! Today we discovered her new favorite thing is to hold up her arms and go ‘Yay!’ … works like a charm.
