A little smile

I was able to capture one of Lauren's sort-of smiles on camera! She is not a smiley baby (yet), but every once in a while she will crack a tiny little smile. I get very excited when that happens! Here are two photos where you can see she is clearly happy and the corners of her mouth are turned up.

This week we introduced Lauren to a tiger blankie. Because she will not take a pacifier and hasn't figured out how to suck her thumb yet, we need something that will help comfort her quickly (especially when out in public, where she tends to scream if she's not happy). We're hopeful that maybe she will like the tiger blankie. It is super soft. We have been placing the blankie on her throughout the week and she seems to like the fabric, but she's definitely not attached to it yet. We'll see if the tiger is a winner!

 

Doesn't she look like a future world leader in the photo above? She is so serious!
