Hooray for smiling

I (Scott) woke up this morning and looked at "What to Expect the First Year." I was informed that by the end of the second month "your baby should smile in response to your smile." I of course thought the worst and thought, "What's wrong with Emily - she barely smiles at all, let alone as a response to a smile!" But today was the big day. She's cranky right now in Dee's arms, but she smiled for us a lot this afternoon. Here's the video!

By the way, I know I look and sound like a fool, but I was excited!



And here's Dee getting a smile!

So neat to be able to see Emily on the video and hear her little voice. Isn't technology great. And Scott & Dee it's ok to sound a bit silly when it's involving your baby, I enjoyed listening to you guys as much as Emily. Mom Kohler

It is so cute when they respond to your voice. You can see her look in Dee's direction when she hears her voice. I love it. Oh! I miss those days.
