Smile, Emily!

The kids are quite interested in making Miss Em smile these days, which is happening more and more. Miss M particularly wants to be the reason her little sister smiles, which in the past few days has resulted in hands-squishing-face "I'm helping her smile, Mom!".

The fairly benign "help"...


The "help" that has to be moderated by Mom a little bit ("No honey, you can't squeeze her face until she smiles.")


All in all, the big M's are really loving their baby sister who is doing more and more each day, and reacting more to them in ways they can understand. It's so much fun!
