The first few weeks of motherhood are weeks filled with hormones, exhaustion, intense emotions, pain, and a lot of figuring out what makes this particular newborn tick.
Nothing is more loveable than a newborn, especially your own, but after about five weeks of constant feeding, changing, rocking, and wondering why this baby is crying,
day in and out, it begins to feel like a thankless job. Then comes that first huge wide-open mouth social smile--melting your heart and making the last six weeks more than worth it, and then next 20 years, too. It is a little gem of motherhood, that smile.
Campbell has become a little more generous with her smile these last few days, but never when I get the camera out. She is adorable, nonetheless. Thank you for smiling for me, little Cam!

Jude just started smiling too. It rocks my world. But moreso, I love the cooing, the little sweet noises. She's adorable and I want to cuddle her.
It's amazing what those smiles can do. I was having a bad series of days when Brooke learned to smile and I totally agree that it just made everything better and all worth it.
