Jane decided to smile! She has really hit that 6 week old marker. She's more alert, starting to 'coo', grab at a toy hanging above her in the bouncer, and annoyingly be VERY aware when you leave her bedroom - annoying because she'd much rather be cuddled, and of course hand out smiles.
She actually smiled at me the day she turned 5 weeks - last Thursday - and it was truly a gift from God. I had the worst, most tiring day and was just feeling all the pressures of life along side serious prolonged sleep deprivation and she just made my heart jump. After that she decided to smile at anyone and anything except me but today we're back on track knowing, frankly, who keeps her alive.
The children, particularly Emma, is thrilled with this newfound skill and raises the pitch of her voice with each repeated "Hi Jane!" I love listening to how high she goes before she realises she can't actually speak in any higher pitch. William isn't as interested. I think when she starts crawling around he'll be more of a fan. Babies don't hold much attention for 4 year old boys. Unless it's like, a baby tiger. That'd be pretty cool . . .
