This is truly the most exciting news we have had since we first heard Ellie's voice. It has been a few weeks since we first saw Ellie smile, but it was so infrequent-- and obviously does not look like a "normal" smile-- that we thought we must be kidding ourselves. Now, over the last week or so, she is doing it consistantly, always before bed and sometimes first thing in the morning.
I finally caught it on video for you. The video is a compilation of two occasions-first, in the morning, where the lighting is good but the smile is less large, and then second, before bed, when she is cooing and smiling big, but the lighting is poor.
Enjoy, and praise God with us! There is nothing like a baby's smile!
