{His} smile......



Jude had his lip repaired on October 29th.

Look at his wonderful "new" smile!!!



I'm amazed.



I'm thankful.



It's beautiful.



BUT.

I do miss his "first" smile.



Pure joy!



His big wide, adorable smile.


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!! And I MISS, MISS, MISS it!



And you know what?

I must confess, I was nervous, afraid of his "first" smile.

I worried about his "first" smile for months before I met him.

I didn't know what to expect.  I didn't want people to stare...to judge...to...oh, I don't know.....

I.Don't.Know.
I just don't know.....
What in the world was I so afraid of?????

THEN.
I.
MET.
HIM.

And EVERYTHING changed.
No fear.
Only love!

Those first - tentative "first" smiles.....while we were in China.....



Oh my!


Be still my heart!



Now.

He has THIS smile....



A sweet "new" smile.



A smile I can hardly resist.




That "first" smile.....it melted my heart.



This "new" smile?
Melts my heart FOREVER!
