First smile happened today
I know the books say it's probably just gas but my 6 week old daughter smiled at me while I was changing her diaper this morning and man, I felt like I won the lottery. My wife thinks I'm crazy for being so excited but this made all the sleepless nights feel worth it for a second. Wanted to share because I'm riding this high.
Dude that's the best feeling in the world. Forget what the books say, that was her recognizing you and loving you. I remember my daughter's first real smile and it wrecked me in the best way possible.
Even if it was gas that smile is YOURS now. Don't let anyone take that moment away from you. Congrats on the first smile, that's a huge one.
