First Smiles

Yesterday was one of Evan's best days and I really think he turned a corner. He had long periods where he was not fussy and he was much more interactive with the environment. In other words, the lights were on AND there was someone home. We were at Amma and Papa's house and Evan seemed very interested in the new surroundings. He enjoyed looking at all of their many shutters. He definitely smiled at us and even seemed to laugh. It was such a great moment! I have waited to see the day when he seemed happy and to enjoy being alive. Of course, I was unable to capture this on film, as I was too engaged in enjoying it. I did get an "almost smile" on camera though, and I am soon many more great smiles are to come.
