Apple Cheeks

Take a close look at these three pictures of Asher.  In the top one, he has no facial expression, and in the bottom one he is flashing his megawatt smile.  The middle one, though, is the most beguiling.  When he likes something, he gives us this half-smile, like Mona Lisa.  We call this smile "apple cheeks," and it makes us smile too, not just because it's cute but because we know he is happy. 

Amy or I can be in the grumpiest of moods, but when one of us calls out "apple cheeks," we come running, for a glimpse at a happy boy who is giving us our favorite half-smile.  😁
