I go with (c). She is a very happy baby with a beautiful smile. I love that pic. Lily looks like she's doing a mix of peek-a-boo and an almost horizontal can-can, with the bottom end of her gorgeous dress up near her face. Was she wildly kicking her legs just before the pic was taken? If yes, prepare for early walking and a lot of rushing around on your & Aileen's part! (That comment is based on an anthropologist's research on baby development: Desmond Morris's Babywatching. I bought that book for a friend when she was expecting her first and I read it myself - now about a decade ago.
