Arlo's first smile!

Today, Arlo gave three huge smiles in a row to his big brother Ezra -- his first! Ezra climbed into the big chair with mommy and Arlo, and gave Arlo a big smile. Arlo's face then spread into a huge grin and he gave Ezra a giant smile back in return -- his first! Bobby Susie was totally right, because yesterday she kept saying that Arlo was much more awake and alert the last few days and was starting to smile! He gave Ezra three giant smiles in a row, and there is no doubt now that these are real social smiles:)
Another tidbit from Hellavilla life -- a few minutes before this happened, Ezra was telling me* that next time he visits Dr Franks (his pediatrician), she is going to turn him back into a baby and put him in mommy's belly again. Don't need a child psychologist to analyze that one, although while Ez shows that he is missing the attention a bit of being a baby, he is doing such a great job adjusting to big brother life. Also, Ezra informed me that not only was he going back into my belly, but that he was bringing Woody and Buzz Lightyear with him. I told him that there was no room there for a party:)

*You may notice that this and many other posts are by Noah. Noah's account is always the one logged in, so he gets credit for all the blogging, but wanted to note for posterity's sake, that these posts are mostly by Mrs. Hellavilla:)
