Nothing beats a baby’s smile, especially when it comes unexpectedly. One tiny girl with Down Syndrome smiled for the first time, and her mother videotaped it.

When an 8-month-old infant was doing tummy time on a soft blanket with her adoptive mother, mom asked, «How’s your day going?»

In response, her daughter’s face lit up with an ear-to-ear grin, instantly capturing the hearts of internet viewers all over the world. Even mom couldn’t help but smile at the little girl’s delight.

The mom’s chuckle is lovely as her kid delights her with round after round of gorgeous grins that are sweet enough to improve anyone’s day.

Her new skill could be a reaction to her new mother’s delight, as the infant had recently been adopted through the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network.

While the period of smiling on cue lasted only a few weeks, the mom cherished it and is grateful to have a recording of her child’s first grin to remember for the rest of her life.

Sometimes the simplicity of a child’s grin is all we need to remember the important things in life. This mother has received a great gift that she will cherish for the rest of her life.
