Wah! So happy to hear about your little one's milestone! That first real smile must've been a heart melter and a glorious sight It's such a warm, fuzzy feeling when you realize they're recognizing you too.

My tot's been spitting up like a pro these days - like literal fountains! Got to keep the laundry busy, but it's hilarious and adorable all at once. Can't wait till he's got some proper chit-chat skills!

Ahhh yisss! The first few months are a blur of excitement and wonderment as parents! It's such a magical feeling when they start recognizing you and giving you those heart-melting smiles!!

My tot also loves playing a game now - he'll laugh and smile super widely when I make silly faces or noises, then hide his face behind his hands, giggling the whole time. Then peekaboo becomes a full-on game of chase around the house because he thinks it's so funny!

Absolutely! We can't hold on too tightly to the past, or we miss the joy in what's happening right now and the promise of what's to come - there's a poem in that, somewhere!

A mother's love, oh so precious,
A newborn's sniffles, Oh-so blissful.
Each moment's a gem, a memory sweet as honey.
