Do you recall the picture that went viral of the newborn baby girl who greeted her parents with a great smile? If so, you probably saw it.

The fact that she is now a toddler does not alter the fact that certain things have not changed at all despite the fact that she has grown so quickly.

In August of 2019, loving parents Flávio Dantas and Tarsila Batista welcomed their lovely daughter Antonella into the world. They were thrilled with delight.

As is typical for many parents, Flávio kept in regular contact with his daughter while she was still within her mother’s womb by conversing with her.

Also, he made it a point to show her how much he cared for her on a regular basis by providing her with encouraging words to hear.

The following is what Mum Tarsila said in an interview with the Brazilian magazine So Noticia Boa:

On multiple occasions, he reaffirmed to her that his love for her was unconditional.

As he went to work in the morning, he would tell both her and me to have a good day, and when he got home in the afternoon, he would tell her to “welcome her again.”

Tarsila eventually became conscious of the fact that it was, in point of fact, generating the impact that was desired. “For some inexplicable reason, it always appeared as though she started to move at the same same minute each day.”

There have been studies that suggest that infants who are spoken to while they are still within their mothers’ wombs “may actually identify the difference between their mother’s native tongue and other languages just hours after they are born.”

This proud father went the additional mile to let his daughter know how much he loved her because new parents are urged to interact with their unborn children.

It’s possible that this is the explanation for why she flashed such a radiant grin the instant she was presented to the public.

Around the time of her delivery in the Marcilio Dias Naval Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Antonella had already formed a strong connection to her father.

She quickly knew his voice the moment he leaned in to say “hello,” and she greeted him with a stunning smile the moment he uttered it. “Hello,” he whispered, leaning in closer.

It seemed like if they had been acquaintances for a very long time who were meeting up again after an absence of some time to catch up with each other for the first time.

Is there anything that has changed in the way Antonella interacts with her father now that she is a toddler and has had more opportunities to get to know him in the real world?

If you look at her images, you’ll see that the answer is most certainly not yes. There has been no alteration!

Because Antonella is such a devoted daughter to her father, Flávio has a very high regard for the unique relationship that the two of them share.

He stated, “At the time, I was under the assumption that I knew what it was like to experience genuine love.

Until I gazed at that smile, which was the most genuine smile in the entire world, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

It wasn’t until that moment that I was able to understand for certain what it means to be in love.
