First Smile!!!

That's right, this morning and again this evening Eliza smiled for the first time! Of course in the past month she has shown us those half-mouthed lip curls that we say are smiles but are really just animated reactions to gas. But today she showed us the real thing -- a full-faced, eyes twinkling and crinkling, cheeks squooshing up toward her eyes, wide-open-mouthed smile! Exactly on her 5-week birthday, as it turns out. This little girl is full of sunshine. We can't wait for her to show us more!

Here is a pretty washed out picture of this evening's smile -- sorry about the quality, it's the best we could do in the heat of the moment!

Shalom!
What a great smile! What was the big joke? Must have been a good one.
Loved the previous photos as well, especially the one with my dear cousin, Irene. Looking forward to more.
Whenever I figure out how to send photos from my new digital camera, I'll send some of my own beautiful kids- promise!
