My daughter smiled at me today

She's 8 weeks old and today while I was changing her diaper she just looked up and smiled. Like a real smile, not gas. I literally teared up. All those rough nights, the feeling of being overwhelmed, suddenly felt worth it. My wife got home from an errand and I immediately told her about it. Small moment but it's the best thing that's happened to me.

Dude that's the best. Eight weeks is when it starts getting fun because you're seeing personality come through. You're past the survival phase, enjoy this part.

Those smiles are what make all the sleepless nights worth it. Keep a photo of her if you took one, you'll want to remember this.

Those first real smiles are absolutely everything. Nothing hits the same as that moment when you realize they actually recognize you and they're happy to see you.
