She's a cute little peanut.

Is she saving all her smiles for you?

Suzanne,

Can I tell you I have never gotten an update picture with her smiling. Thank God I ahve met her twice and she definitly loves to smile for mommy. My greatest pictures of her beautiful smile are from my visit trip and video we have of her.

Her FM has told me that she does not like the doctors.

Stacy

Stacy, Dulce is too cute, but you already knew that. Don't feel so bad, I didn't get a picture of Kate smiling until this past month. If I hadn't visited her I would have never known she could smile, LOL!
