My dd has yet to give me a "real" smile. She has been giving me little almost smiles for the past few days and it's driving me crazy waiting for that grin. I smile at her all day, she hates being tickled, I make silly faces, and wave toys at her, all to no avail.
What works for your LO? When did they start smiling regularly?

Re: What makes your baby smile?
DS started smiling at 4 weeks during diaper changes.....it's still one of his favorite things.
This. Usually as soon as he hits the changing table he starts smiling and "talking", so I talk to him and make silly faces and keep him going.
Bar tab = $156,000, Bus to Foxwoods = $0, Puking in the Stanley Cup = Priceless
DD does this, too!
Also, pinching her cheeks really gets her going. She really wants to laugh but she just can't figure it out.
Mathieu started really smiling around 7wks.
He loves it when I touch his lips, smile and laugh at him, and stick my tongue out at him.

I'm in the same boat. My DS has smiled a couple of times for my DH, but I could dance around like an idiot and I get nothing. I would love to see a "real smile". How early was your LO?
DS just started smiling intentionally this week. By "intentionally" I mean I can finally tell that it's not just gas or a reflex or a fluke. This morning DH was nice enough to let me sleep in. When he brough DS up to the bedroom when I woke up I said "There's my baby!" and as soon as he hear my voice, DS just lit up with a huge smile! I melted!
DS also likes it when I talk to him in a happy tone and then kiss his nose. EX: "You're a cute baby!" *kiss* "Mommy loves you!" *kiss* "You've just got the tastiest little nose ever!" *kiss*
About the 4th or 5th kiss, it's like he knows it's coming and he smiles in between each one.
They are difficult to get out of him sometimes but I definitely live for those little smiles!
Khari smiles most at her butterfly 'mobile' I made for above her crib. I'm sure she could sit there smiling and talking to it for hours if I let her...
She also likes when I go "I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha Girlfriend!" (I say girlfriend in a high pitched voice) then blow raspberries on her stomach.. but pretty much if you smile at her she'll smile at you. Except for Taiden. She loves her big bro and smiles at him all the time!
