She smiles

Don't you just love a baby's smile. Caroline has shown me a few smiles but they were usually while sleeping or the baby-gas smile.

Here she is enjoying tummy time. After only a few minutes she fell asleep and enjoyed a nap. I guess that is the best way to enjoy tummy time but it does nothing to develop those neck muscles.

Yesterday I saw my first responsive smile. Caroline literally changed overnight. Typically she is a pretty happy baby and sleeps well. But, when awake she typically liked to be held. Yesterday she started to enjoy her awake time by herself. She slept most of the day concluding with a 5 hour nap. When she woke up at about 8:30 she ate and then spent the next 4 hours on her play mat. She would be happy looking at the toys hanging above her and then she would take a short nap. When she would wake up again she would again be content. I finally had to get her up out of her fun to put her in her bed. Of course she fussed for the next half hour.
