Smiles and laughs. What more could I ask for?

Yesterday Caiden smiled at me for the first time. Sure he's smiled before. He smiles when he gets excited or when I use my high pitched squeaky voice. But yesterday was different. Yesterday I was making faces at him and he was staring at me, and each time I would make a face he would smile. It melted my heart.

My happy baby

Even when I am completely exhausted, seeing him smile makes it all worth it.
