1 month old almost to the day! I think 4-6 weeks is the average.

6 weeks is average. DS has given us 2 smiles that we think were real and not just gas.

Soon! Baby Iris was 5.5 weeks. Out of nowhere, she just looked at me and gave me a huge smile. Amazing!

Sounds right. We had a couple that were likely gas or involuntary by 3 weeks but full on smiles by 5.

They really started coming around 7-8 weeks for us. The giggling started around then, too. It's the best when he does it in his sleep!
