Smile,Smile,Smile

I read an article recently that talked about the effect a baby's smile has on us physically. It said that studies show when MRI scans were done on a mother's brain, seeing your own baby smile creates a "natural high" for moms. I definitely can attest to this. From the day I had the boys, I have been on a "natural high". When I get home and they are in their walkers and they hear my voice and they break into smiles, I feel so elated, so thrilled to be their mommy. On the weekends when I get the pleasure of getting into their room first to get them out of their cribs, those smiles will make you melt. Here is a good sample of those big smiles and their beautiful blue eyes.

One of the boys favorite games to play is "Where's the babies?" This game consist of a big white blanket and 3 babies laying on the ground. As soon as we get ready to play and I lay them together, their little legs start to kick in excitement. Then like a parachute I cover them with the blanket and say "Where's the babies?". Then I whip the blanket off, and they smile and kick like crazy. I think they could play this for hours. Here is what the games looks like.
"Where's the babies?
"There's the babies!!!"

What big smiles they all have and I can attest to the natural high as well! I will say I can't help bt laugh at the "where are the babies" game--You should have mentioned in the blog that they still can breath under there! LOL
