You bet. That looks like a grin to me. When it’s accompanied by a giggle, you’ll know.
She’s beautiful, by the way.

All real, baby, all real!
Oh yeah that is a smile - a smile with meaning! love it!
the so called ‘norms’ are to be challenged
she is lovely and it is a smile, what a clever girl
Real, real, real! She is so darling!
Hee hee–thanks for the validation, ladies! She’s certainly a happy baby so far. Now what other myths can we bust? How about the “babies don’t really run a temperature when they’re teething” one!
Adorable! And definitely a real smile (with those dimples, no less). Sigh.
She’s a prodigy, no doubt. And look at those dimples!
that is TOTALLY a smile!
oh, that whole temperature when teething thing…my pediatrician friend let it slip that the reason doctors tell you that is so you won’t ignore a fever that’s NOT teething. know what i’m sayin’?
Yep. For sure!!! So cute!!!
