I awoke this morning to a very patient Stella. She was quietly laying next to me, wide eyed and ready to be fed. When I looked over to her she focused straight onto me. I gave her a big smile, and to my great astonishment she gave me a big open mouth smile right back. I have never seen something more sweet in my life. We spend all day trying to make this little being comfortable, clean, warm and full, and to actually see her experience one slight second of happiness is the most rewarding thing I have ever known.
This is the second time we have gotten a deliberate smile from her. The first was while Nolan was whistling to her. She found it quite fascinating and gave him a gummy smile. We spent the rest of the day finding new tunes to whistle in hopes of getting another smile from her.
