I\u00c2\u00a0was worried\u00c2\u00a0she was a serious child &#8211; or perhaps just not a terribly happy one. Q told me to have patience, as all the baby books say six weeks is the age at which most kids discover their smile&#8230; Turns out the books were correct! Ever since her Sat. bath (at age six weeks, two days), it&#8217;s been Smile Central here. Zoe spent a good hour smiling at her dad last night (she loves it when he whistles and makes big-eye faces), and this morning she couldn&#8217;t stop smiling at me as I fed and then changed her. I can&#8217;t tell you how much fun it is to see her bright little face!<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, I commented here a few days ago that I was getting a little frustrated with the &#8220;sameness&#8221; of\u00c2\u00a0Zoe&#8217;s activities (and our routine).\u00c2\u00a0The past few days, though, have been much more exciting. Not only is she smiling more, but she&#8217;s also &#8220;talking&#8221; more than ever before &#8211; and she&#8217;s just generally more entertaining to be around. If she&#8217;s this fun now, I can imagine how thrilling it will be when she hits other milestones and starts talking for real! (Not that I want to rush things&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Before I go, I&#8217;m posting another pic taken on Sat. She&#8217;s not smiling here, but she *is* showing off her cute faux-fur coat (a favorite of her dad&#8217;s).<\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image312\" alt=\"bundled-up.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/bundled-up.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I commented several times to Q\u00c2\u00a0that I was concerned Zoe wasn&#8217;t smiling more.
