more smiles

emmy's smiles continue to come more frequently and more purposefully and we couldn't be happier. it's amazing how one little smile can turn your mood upside down, in a good way! and yesterday, we even witnessed her very first giggle. we haven't captured that on video yet, but in the interim, here are some smiles for your viewing pleasure.



in other news, i haven't been posting much here because Emmy's now got her very own Facebook page "An Appeal for Emmy". it started as a fundraising page for her, but has evolved into being a bit more comprehensive. it's an easy place to share photos, etc. here are a few pictures that have gone up there recently.
