Whether or not this is an evolutionary adaptation, it does seem to have the effect of giving parents a second wind. Here are some of Toren’s first attempts at smiles at about 7 weeks:

    Honestly – I’m with you on this one. I remember saying the same thing to Mark at that point with our boys. So cute!
