When Valerie was born, the left side of her face was a little swollen, so she would often wink at us. We gave her the nickname "Winky". Sometimes she added a cute smile to make her winking extra special. Matt loved to hold her in this position. When she falls asleep in this position, her arms dangle to the side.
