Muppet Smile

I love the Muppets. I love their songs, their skits, their characters. I love their cross-generational appeal. Since Jim Henson died, they've lost their soul a bit as well as whatever edge they had. But still they are as charming as ever.

When Muppets are happy, they smile by opening their mouths like this:

Since Muppets don't have any sophisticated facial musculature, an open, toothless mouth is all that's needed to show that they're happy.

Baby J has a Muppet smile. If she's happy, she just sort of opens her mouth like Kermit is doing here and that passes for a smile. When she has more teeth, she will undoubtedly look less Muppetlike (Muppetesque?) but in the meantime, it's a good look for her.
