The Language of Smiles

I didn't know a baby's smiles could be so expressive until I had Jake; he has very different smiles and I love them all! 

Often when I am feeding or changing Jake he gives me his "Thank You" smile. It is impossible for him to drink when he's smiling but I love it anyway:

Then there is the whole body "I'm so happy" smile:

Often I will notice him smiling so sweetly at the ceiling. I like to think these are the smiles he's giving to the angels, his grandpa in particular:

Then there is the hard to capture on film because it is always just one at a time, and always unexpected, but it is my favorite: the "I love you" smile. It's mostly a smile from the eyes and this picture is almost it.

I love all his smiles and consider myself lucky to have so many "conversations" with this sweet baby every day!
