Who are you smiling at, grandpa?

Posted by
Franz (Baden, Austria) on 15 February 2017 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Today my grandson Felix is four months old, so this is his 'monthly birthday'. He's beginning to recognise people and things around him, and I like the keen interest with which he follows the action. Sometimes he even offers me a smile - what bliss!
Happy birthday, little mouse!

Compare this older post with today's image, if you like!

I post a picture of my grandchildren Emilia and Felix every month on their 'birthdays' - the 28th and the 15th, respectively.
