Last Sunday both Eleanor and Miranda started really smiling. Earlier, they would occasionally have a tug at the corner of their mouths when they’re sleeping or they might smile “due to gas” (what does that mean, anyway?), but now this is while they’re awake and in response to us talking and cooing to them. They’re more apt to smile if conditions are just right — they aren’t hungry, they have a clean diaper, they aren’t falling asleep, etc. We hope these smiles will become more and more common because they just look so happy when they’re smiling.
It’s taken us a little bit to write about this because it’s been hard to get a clear picture of their smiles without a flash. Most of these pictures end up a little blurry. These two are the best of the bunch, but they’re still a little blurry.
For those of you who still can’t tell Eleanor and Miranda apart, this first picture is Eleanor.
This second picture is Miranda.
