The Charmer

Today is Maximilian's 1 Month Birthday, and wouldn't you know it - to celebrate his 30 days in the world Max gave his cutest 'First Smile'.
Now this is the stuff that all mothers long to experience. It is one of those ever important 'Firsts'. The First Smile would have been terrific if it was meant for me.... But not the case, instead Helen our cleaning lady (who Max had never before met) was the recipient of this ever endearing expression. Talk about depressing, it's not enough that I've got a mild case of the baby blues, baby spit-up in my hair and mustard coloured pooh stains on my shorts, but Helen who has spent all of 15 minutes with him gets the smile I have so long awaited!

I promptly scoured all the baby info sites out there in search of some validation - could it have been Gas? A facial reflex?
In the end my research led me to realize that 4 - 6 weeks is about the time that babies start smiling, so I guess I just have to deal with it.
- He really was very cute though........
