My niece gave birth to her first baby, a baby boy. As soon as it was announced to all of us who were waiting near the door of the hospital’s delivery room, we all jumped with joy. After few minutes we were allowed to see the newborn and we found him all dressed up on her Mom’s lap. We could not contain our happiness when we saw the newborn. We took turns in taking photos. Suddenly, the newborn baby smiled. We were amazed and then we cheered. because our cameras captured that sweet moment. We could not help but celebrate the coming of another baby to our family. Do you also celebrate the coming of new baby? What delighted you lately?

Quite the loveliest photo of a newborn I have seen - with the exception of my own of course!

@salonga People always say it's wind that makes newborns smile but whatever it is, it's pretty cool.

This is a very sweet photo and the baby is quite adorable as well as a little angel

I don't know why, but it seems that new born babies often smile. I still remember it when my son was a baby

Perhaps they often smile to remind us that they are our angels

Or it could be that they see angels around smiling at them and they smile back and when they see us they thought we were angels too perhaps

Congratulations! What a beautiful smile on a beautiful baby boy. I'm sure you are all thrilled with joy! I've been blessed with a granddaughter and grandson. My younger son will be married next October, and of course, I am hoping for more beautiful and bright grandchildren.

Oh your younger son will surely give you beautiful and bright grandchildren too! Children are a heritage from God so when one is born in the family it is something to rejoice about.

The photo is lovely and reminds me of the birth of my own children. None of my children have had children themselves. Their decision and that's fine with me. I was delighted with the colors sof the leaves this fall, it is a magical time in the north.

I admire you for respecting the decision of your children.

The beautiful colors of leaves in autumn I can see only in photos and they delight me as well.
