Caught Her Smiling

I could sit and stare at this baby for hours.  When she's in a deep sleep her face doesn't move much but as she progresses towards waking she starts making a variety of faces.  Her little eyes move under her eyelids so she must be dreaming.  She'll frown.  She'll pull one side of her mouth up.  She'll suck in her sleep.  She'll make duck lips.  She'll purse her lips into a tiny "O."  And she makes a lot of noises. Every one of her noises is cute of course.  She grunts and groans, hiccups and burps, makes little mewling noises and anxious throat noises.  Children are so entertaining.
