Nothing is sweeter than a baby’s smile, especially when it appears unexpectedly. One tiny girl with Down Syndrome smiled for the first time, and her mother captured the moment on tape.
An 8-month-old infant was tummy time on a comfortable blanket with her adoptive mother when mom said, “How’s your day going?”
Her daughter’s face lit up with an ear-to-ear grin in return, instantly capturing the hearts of internet viewers all around the world. Even mom couldn’t help but chuckle with glee at the tiny girl’s joy.
It’s heartwarming to hear the mom’s chuckle as her daughter delights her with round after round of wonderful grins that are sweet enough to make anyone’s day.
The baby had recently been adopted through the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, so her new skill could be a reaction to her new mother’s excitement.
While the stage of smiling on cue only lasted for a few weeks, the mom savored this sweet phase and is grateful she has a recording of her child’s first smile to treasure forever.
Sometimes, the simplicity of a child’s smile is all we need to remember the precious things in life. This mom certainly has a beautiful gift she will always cherish.
