Anatomy of a smile

Dawn breaks. Cola stirs and wants a milk feed. He turns towards Tonton's face and start sucking. He sucked and sucked, "why, there's no milk from this fleshy bit today?" Tonton is half-asleep, and wondered why his face felt... tight, wet, and "wait, there's a baby chewing on my face?!"

Cola returns to the lovely angel he once was. He ate every kind of food we offer, from char siu bao to steamed fish to seafood paella. Cola doesn't get bored with the same kind of food, and for a lazy cook like me, it's a blessing.

How he laughs! It doesn't take much to make him laugh, just a "hello" or a smile from anyone will trigger him into the most animated laugh. As if to prove his sincerity, he tilts his head back and opens his mouth doubly wide until we could see his eyes no more.

Oh my Cola, my darling~! He's been even entertaining himself for the past hour as I blog on this early winter morning.
