All smiles

Today, after shoveling the driveway for two hours, I came in to hold Maddie. Up till now she has usually been sleeping, feeding, or squirming to communicate some need. Not tonight. Tonight she listened to me make goofy noises and she just lay in my arms giving me huge smiles along with very connected eye contact. It was the first time that I felt that she was really seeing me for a person and not just a care giver and that she was enjoying MY company, not just me enjoying hers. Now I really know what everyone has been telling me, it is truly amazing. ~DC
