Lola's New Tricks




We would see it, and then it was gone… So quick, we weren’t even sure it happened. However this weekend, that all changed. It really happened – Lola can now smile! Mostly the smiles come with cute little baby coos. It is the best thing ever and just makes our days. It also makes her look a lot less grumpy. We hope to catch a picture of her cute smile soon… but so far she is too quick. How is it that babies look so cute when they give you that smile with a mouthful of gums?

She has learned another new trick too. She can now get her fist into her mouth at will and sometimes just her index finger. This makes her very excited!! She likes nothing better than to suck, and now that she can find her fist anytime she wants – she is in heaven. Sometimes she gets so excited about her accomplishment that the fist comes right out. She also has red marks on her fingers and hands from her powerful suction. It is a good thing she doesn’t sleep in our room – because the noise that accompanies the fist sucking is quite loud.
