first social smile?

Quinn has mentioned that I seem to be pretty pessimistic on this blog. I feel really bad about that. As hard as this whole ordeal has been I feel so blessed to have Lila. She is the sweetest little thing. She is beautiful. She is such a gift.
Today I get to write something positive. I have been feeling pretty down about Lila's vision, she had an amazing vision therapy session last week, where the vision therapist was so excited and encouraged but since then I feel like we have taken a step back. So today while Lila was laying on her back sucking on her hands I knelt down and just smiled at her, didn't make a sound, and a small little smile emerged. I started laughing and Lila's smile got huge! But then I started sobbing and she started to look a little confused : ) Of course now I'm thinking back, did she really see me? Did she just hear me? I don't know, what I do know is that I saw the most gorgeous smile from my baby girl today. It was a good day.

It's amazing how it's those small simple things that count. Love hearing this. You deserve a good day. I hope you get more of them. Even if they just consist of her smiles.
