I think I've been pretty restrained for a long time now. I mean to say, when did I last show a photo of The Smudge? I took this yesterday. Is she not the sweetest?
I lifted the next one from Thesha's blog. It was taken on June 26th, after our long flight home from Vancouver.
The girl became and more alert during our hiatus. Although she was beginning to smile then, she now smiles often and freely and begins to try to use her voice. There are a few smiles and a few vocalizations in this clip, but, of course, she tends to clam up as soon as the director yells, "Roll Em." Who knows whether that her first laugh was recorded in this clip or whether it was a complete fluke?
Oh good--a Smudge update. I have been missing these.
ReplyDeleteOh, she's beautiful. Love that perfect little mouth!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that you are really taken with this little lady - at least it looks that way. ec

ReplyDeleteYou are quite irrepressible and without shame when it comes to your lovely grandchild!
ReplyDeleteIt will only get better as she finds herself under you guidance.
She's absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe how much she's grown. Thanks for the update.

Lovelier by the day.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you when you have time but I'll email.
Love the huggy-hold picture. Such contentment.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a cute little girl. For some reason I could not get the video to play- I'll have another try tomorrow (no that's later today I see it's gone midnight).
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweet Smudge! I love her smile and she is so alert and lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh A/C.. she is just too cute for words. :-)
