The first official smile!

So last week, as I was conducting my usual morning routine of kissing my wife, kissing my child, and kissing my dogs goodbye, I was abruptly bombarded with rabbit punches of cuteness to the face!  I had propped eli up on his Boppy pillow to see if he could entertain himself while Kelvey ate breakfast and noticed a Christmas miracle occur . . . . Eli began to smile at me!  At first I thought he was just wincing out a fart or burp like he usually does, but with a little coaxing he stretched it out into a full on smile.  I was so happy I couldn't help but try to see how many more I could get out of him.  It didn't take much to get him smiling ear to ear.  I'm not sure if it was the comfort of the Boppy, the beautiful morning sun pouring through the window, or the smile he saw on his old man's face that made him want to smile so much . . . . but it made my day.  He has had a few sporadic smiles every now and then (mainly after feeding) but nothing to this magnitude.  I still cannot wait for the day that he is able to laugh and smile as part of his normal interaction with us.
