It's officially confirmed; no question about it! Theo has had his first series (not isolated!) intentional smiles! What a joy! The first two smiles came last night when the 'MEN' were doing some work in the office/guest/baby room. Chris was sporting some crazy safety goggles and one of my ski gloves while drilling, my dad was supervising and guarding the crib, Theo was secured under a tent-like construction of blankets (safety first!), and Pete was just observing the mania! I came in there to rescue Theos and tickled his tummy while saying, "Aren't these boys silly?!" He smiled once right after that, and for good measure, we repeated the same exchange...and got a second smile! So exciting to experience this! Today, Daddy got to experience multiple smiles while cuddling with the Theos on his lap...None for Mommy...Smile after smile for Daddy! Chris was excited to be a part of this! The exchange and memory was priceless! The camera couldn't capture these moments, but we'll try in the future!
