Yeahh for smiles!!




I had been worrying because Amelia wasn't smiling yet. Gabe started at 4 weeks and has always been very social. Amelia just didn't seem to be responding to people and wasn't smiling at people yet. People kept telling me not to worry but of course I was convinced that something was wrong with her. I was so happy when last week she started smiling. She is so cute. I think it's harder work for her because her cheeks are so stinkin big! Anyway, it was hard to get some pics. but I did get a couple yesterday that I thought I would post. The third pic. I just thought was cute. Like she was boxing.
On another note, she has something wrong with her eye. The dr. thinks it is a blocked tear duct that has gotten infected. I looked it up and it's pretty common in infants. But, the eyedrops he prescribed haven't helped it so he also prescribed an oral antibiotic. He said if it doesn't go away we'll have to see a specialist or have her go to the hospital overnight and get on an i.v. antibiotic. It doesn't look too bad, just a little swollen under her eye and like she has a black eye. Still we pray that it goes away. Love ya all!

Wow, she is a cutie. She is starting to look like Gabe. I do like those cheeks, hopefully they don't get pinched to much.
Both Bailey and Ed had the blocked tear ducts. They eventually grew out of it. Bailey took longer than Ed. But I know how frustrating it can be. And how you just want it to go away. But you have adorable, happy kids. You are Eric are blessed.
