One small step for Kaden, one giant step for his parents disposition

I got a call from Megan while I was at work yesterday. I could immediately hear the bubbly, giggly, sound of her voice. Kaden was smiling at her for the very first time, and she was appropriately incredibly happy about it.

After a particularly troublesome Tuesday where he was a frustrating mess of upset crying, bored crying, and frowning all day, it was definitely something we needed. This fits into my friend Ben's hypothesis that smiling is the babies evolutionary way of ensuring that you don't just get sick of it and give it back. Just as you are at a height of frustration, he develops the facial movements that make you fall in love all over again.
