"He's smiling!" 

Every parent delights in seeing their child smile, but for Michelle and Toby Lever, the moment was especially precious when their seven-week-old baby Lachlan heard their voices for the first time. Diagnosed with moderate-to-severe hearing loss at birth, Lachlan looks somewhat miserable as doctors put hearing aids in his ears. But upon hearing his mother say "Hi, darling," a smile immediately comes across the baby's face, bringing joy to all in the room (and on the web).
