Social Smile

Ung-Gur Gur baby!

Hehe you adults look so funny! ~

In the first month, Charis smiles mostly when she is asleep. i always joked that she smiles dreaming of a pool of milk!

On 1Jan (when she was 5 weeks), we discovered that Charis actually smiled with her eyes opened in response to our conversation to her! We were so thrilled, and you can be sure our hearts melted!

On searching the web, i found that there are actually two types of smiles for babies: a. the spontaneous or almost reflexive smile that can occur early in the newborn period, and b. the social smile that occurs in response to something, like when you talk or sing to your baby

Really delighted that Charis has started her social smile! Hope to hear her laughter soon! According to baby books, that comes around 3-4 months! Exciting!
