Inconvenient Smiles

Adeline is becoming a very happy, smiley baby.  Her smile is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.  However, as her smiles becomes more frequent, there are two instances when I’d rather her keep a straight face: 

1.  While breastfeeding…sorry baby, it is cute as can be, but smiling while drinking makes for a messy baby and mommy!

2.  At 2:00am when I zombie-walk into her room to see why she’s crying.  Once she saw me last night her fussing stopped and the smiles started.  Yes, I love that I can get her to stop fussing so easily, but this is especially frustrating since she doesn’t usually wake up to eat until at least 5:00.  Plus, if she does wake up in the night when its not time to eat, we usually just stick a pacifier in her mouth and she’s good.  But last night, she wouldn’t stop smiling even after I stuck the pacifier in, which makes it hard to keep it in her mouth!
