When you smile, the whole world is smiling at you

My weekly notice from BabyCenter.com, a Web site that emails pregnant women and new moms a development report on their newborns, said this about 6-week-old babies:

"Has your baby smiled at you yet? If not, she will soon."

This statement brought a smile to my face.

Benny and I had a photo shoot with Olivia on Saturday afternoon. We were trying to copy and recreate some artsy professional photographs that we have seen in other people's baby albums.

Olivia was content. Benny was holding her and I was snapping away taking as many photos as I could in the short period.

It was late on Sunday when we downloaded the photos and saw this:



A perfect picture of happiness: Olivia's first smile.

Melinda, she is part monkey. Remember this is Benny's daughter. I'm sure she will be crawling and climbing in no time. She already tries to climb Benny's shoulder when he burps her.
