Yesterday
evening, EJ smiled for the first time!
At least we think he did. He’s
been making smile shaped faces for a long time, but they didn’t seem to be actual
smiles. This time, he looked up at his
Daddy, and gave a big, open mouthed grin!
Luckily, I was right there to see it, too. Last night during his 3am feeding, he looked
up at me, then off over my shoulder and smiled again! That one was harder to tell for sure since he
wasn’t looking at me when he did it, but the grins were different than the
involuntary, closed mouth, half smiles we’ve been seeing.
Hopefully
we’ll start seeing some more grins and can be more confident that they’re real
smiles. Then maybe we can catch one with
the camera!
We’re
very curious about when EJ will hit his milestones, since while preemies are
expected to reach them at their adjusted ages, you never know. We, of course, think he’s brilliant and will
reach them all way ahead of schedule. J
Milestone: smiling
Age: 13 weeks, 5 days actual; 3 weeks, 5 days adjusted; 3
months, 4 days
Here’s a (low quality, cell phone) picture of Oliver trying to get in on the cozy spot
I made for EJ. I think it’s safe to say
the cats are used to him!
