My daughter is 6 weeks old and she smiled at me this morning while I was changing her diaper. Not a gas smile either, it was real. I know it's probably a small thing to most people but I literally teared up. This parenting thing is insane. Never thought I'd be this emotional over a smile.
Man, that's the best feeling in the world! Those early smiles hit different when you know they're real. Congrats, you're officially hooked for life now.
Oh man, that first real smile hits different! Congrats dude. I remember when my daughter did that and I just stared at her for like five minutes straight. Best feeling in the world.
That's the moment right there. Six weeks and you're already getting smiles. Soak that stuff in because before you know it they're rolling their eyes at your jokes. Enjoy every second of this phase.
While changing a diaper too? That's extra special. She was basically saying thanks for the fresh diaper and the clean feeling. Frame that memory because this phase goes so fast.

Dude, enjoy this moment. My 4-month-old is smiling all the time now and I still get that same rush every single time. It only gets better from here.
