You were about 4 months old now, and god, you were so stubborn. Why weren't you giving her any smiles yet? She didn't even need a laugh or a giggle yet. Just give her a little smile! She was your mother, you should be ecstatic to see her.

She was currently sat in a rocking chair, next to your crib, holding you in her lap. She was pretty relaxed, you were calm, laying in her arms, a pacifier in your mouth, eyes closed. But not quite asleep.

She ran a finger over your cheek gently, admiring your cute face. She gently pulled the pacifier out, and pokes your cheek.

"Gimme a smile, sweetheart," She whispers.
