When Talia was 1-2 months old, I was worried because her smiles were brief and few. Why isn’t she smiling more? Is she not happy? Is there anything I should do?
Confession: I actually used my 2 pinky fingers to stretch the ends of her mouth upwards to teach her how to smile. Of cos it didn’t work.
One morning, after her first feeding….she stared intently at one corner of our bedroom. Then she smiled and she smiled & smiled. We looked but saw nothing. There was nothing there at all. Just the plain corner of the room. Everything is white in color.
Both Jaime & I agreed it must be her guardian angel or maybe Christ Himself. Well, since that day, Talia smiles. She smiles at every little thing. Sometimes, she smiles with her mouth so wide, we can’t even see her eyes.

My daughter didn’t laugh until around 8 months. I was concerned that I just wasn’t funny, but now she laughs at me all the time now

my children also always smile at nothing…i am 100% sure, they must be smiling to their guardian angel or even Jesus himself.
when Belle was very sick, she told me, Jesus wake her up and talk to her! when she is better she told me that Jesus heal her…(i must blog about this!)

Talia’s temp when up to 37.3 after her 2nd 5-in-1 jab. We prayed and it when back to normal very quickly.
Technically speaking, she never had any fever since birth. 37.3 was the highest. Praise the Lord!

Hi Kevin, there is no need to worry abt 37.3. It’s normal for baby and even toddler. Their body temp tends to be slightly higher than so-called normal temp. Their bodies still not able to adjust well to hot and cold so sometimes it will even go up to 37.4-37.5 but it’s not fever.
Usually, the coolest is in the morning, then raise slightly in the afternoon and around the same in the evening depending on the weather. Talia should be fine but I do understand your concern.
Tell Talia to drink more water
