Introduction

Collin was born April 6, 2012 with a rare genetic syndrome called Cri Du Chat. If you would like to know more about his syndrome . . . Google it, I am no expert. I am Collin's mom, anything that I write here is just me learning and growing.

Reactive Smile

Collin is 12 weeks old and he has been smiling when I touch his bottom lip for a month or so, but yesterday he started to smile in reaction to my goofy smile. It is so much fun to know that he is continuing to develop his senses. Now I know that he can see me and he can tell when I am making different faces.
I loved grocery shopping with him yesterday because every time he saw me smiling at him he gave me a little sunshine in return. It is such a great feeling to know that he is happy. For the first little while I just assumed that whenever he wasn't crying he was happy, now I get to know he is happy whenever he is feeling happy.
Dan is a little jealous because he hasn't gotten that same reaction from him yet. I keep telling him that getting to see his progress before everyone else is one of the upsides and that most of the time caring for him is pretty hard work... hard, but rewarding work.
