Say Cheese!

I'm sure that most of your kids smiled at this age..but this is all new to me since Wyatt simply scowled for the first few months. It's the best thing..to have my little guy break out into a huge grin when I am talking to him. Even better is when his smile is accompanied by baby laughter.
His smile is also causing someone else to be more drawn to him. Wyatt usually chooses to simply ignore the baby, which is understandable. He doesn't want to hug it, give it any extra attention, or talk to it too much. Tonight, though, Hayes was in my lap and Wyatt was sitting next to me when Hayes broke out in smiles. I told Wyatt that Hayes was so happy that his big brother was with him, etc...I watched Wyatt and he immediately started smiling and couldn't take his eyes off of his little brother. It was one of the few times that Wyatt seemed to be interested in Hayes. When Hayes stopped his smiling session, Wyatt got closer to him, and eagerly whispered, "Again!"
