Waiting for smiles

I'm so anxious to see her first smile. She will be two months next week, when did your LO start socially smiling?

    My boys were 33 weekers.  They just started smiling this past week, so 10.5 weeks old.  It was a looong wait!

    I got 1 "real" smile pretty early- 2.5mo/2wk adj (looked up and smiled while nursing), but it was another month at 6 wk adj before we were really sure he was doing it intentionally. It's a long wait for us preemie mommas!

    About 7 weeks adjusted.  It was a long wait.  I can't get enough of their smiles now Smile

    I am still waiting. She has smiled, but not as a direct reaction to me.  I cannot wait for that!  It is definitely hard waiting for her to do things that babies half her age are doing.

    My 26-weeker started smiling in response to us about 2.5 weeks ago, so about 1.5 months adjusted. Every day she smiles more and more. :) It absolutely melts my heart.

    Around 6 weeks adjusted... he was stingy with his smiles at first but he is smiling more and more now. LOVE those smiles!!!! and the cutest thing is hearing DH go completely ga-ga when baby is smiling at him!!
