In April, Charlotte Halliday, 23, from Queensland, shared the story of her then newborn son Charlie who was born with a severe cleft palate and lip.
And now, almost three months on from his birth on April 18, Ms Halliday has shared adorable photos of Charlie's first smiles.
The heartwarming snaps were posted on Ms Halliday's Facebook group, Charlie's Journey, where she shares updates on her son's health and news from their hospital visits.

Just got my first smile off Charlie!!! 3 in a row!!!! Proud mummy moment,' Ms Halliday wrote after seeing his first ever smile on Thursday.
Over the past few weeks, Charlie has been in and out of hospital with a number of feeding issues and doctors will be unable to operate on him until his feeding tubes are out.
Charlie and his family will return to hospital in six weeks in the hope that the tubes can be removed and his first surgery date can be set.
