Firsts

This weekend was a time for first. On Sunday my son smiled for the first time. When I put him in his pack in play he looked at the hanging sheep and smiled. True I wish it was at me but I am so happy to see those little grinning gums. That same afternoon, I kissed his check and it tasted salty. The first tears came in. The tears haven't come in fully but it was sweet to see that wet trail on your cheek. On Monday he sucked on your thumb for the first time. Since he's tried to find his hand and usually just finds his arm. Pretty soon he'll get it right.

When he has his active alert time he loves to lay on his mat and kick. It's pretty funny since he mostly kicks with his right leg. If he were swimming or walking he'd go in circles. I think he is right handed since most of his movements seem to be on the right side. We'll see.
