(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Smiles

 Lately, Grey and Micah have taken to consciously smiling at me with these real, genuine smiles.  They'll shoot them to me if I do something silly, if they're having fun, even if they're hurt and want to reassure me that they're alright.
And they always smile at the camera. They used to smile with goofy, fake smiles. They were trying too hard, copying us, pretending to smile for the camera.
I am obsessed with these real little grins. They're so cute.
I also feel like their smiles are so different! They don't look identical to me. How about you? Can you tell who is who?

The elusive smiling photo.

My babies seriously smile all day long (and all night long, too - which I like less. No fun! Sleep only!) but we haven't managed to get more than one crappy picture on my mom's phone.

This is for two main reasons:

1. If you hold a camera in front of your face the babies can long longer see you and stop laughing at you.

2. If you hold a camera discretely to the side of the babies they always see it and become distracted.

Basically the problem is that our cameras are too big and interesting.

BUT yesterday we managed to sneak these pictures.

Oh my gosh.

I freaking love my smiley boys.

Grey was smiling at me, and I pulled my camera out of it's secret hiding place (my lap) and snagged this.

And Micah was grinning up at his grandma. I actually got a few of Micah before he noticed the camera, but they're slightly out of focus. I was being too speedy to notice.

Today we are driving home, and tomorrow we will be with Travis again. Hurrah!  I can only hope the ride home will be filled with smiles and not tears.

(The ride here, sadly, featured some tears. But only the last two hours...)

Last day to vote for Circle of Moms (the pink one) so make sure you clickity click! Thanks guys.
