all smiles

i know that there are firm believers that newborns don't smile, but i guess those newborns didn't have such an amazing mama! after he eats and i change his pee-pants, we stare at each other and smile and laugh. ascher is a smiling machine (depending greatly on the mood). you call them gas, i call them a blessed life. i try to catch his expressions on camera, but today i actually got a "laugh" on video. enjoy!



and this is just a photo from a proud mama showing off her growing boy!



more updates to follow...including the remainder of the birth story.
