Miles of Smiles

So Nico is really and truly smiling at me and it makes me squeal with joy. He is so cute doing it too, Baby Cool does half smiles to tease me, smiles with coos, full head back smiles, eyes squinting boob half in mouth smiles and special only have eyes for you Momma smiles (not to be confused with the previous type either).
Today he had many opportunities to smile. He enjoyed his tummy time on his lily pad that Jamie got for him-he cooed and smiled trying to push off of the mat. He laid on his floor gym mat and didn't complain but he refused to turn his head to look at any of the stimulating things. We read stories and he listened intently to one whole book (Chika Chika Boom Boom) before he got squirmy. He was in a great mood today and we enjoyed each other tremendously.
Oh, what joy. I am enjoying this getting to know Nico.
And the cherry on top.... he is sleeping in his cradle and has been for about 2 hours. He is getting used to sleeping there which means I get to sleep more soundly which makes me smile (although I doubt anyone would blog about me smiling :)
