V smiles when she's falling asleep and it's just so cute it makes me want to smoosh her. I can only imagine that the real deal is that much better, especially when it's actually directed at you. For the last few days I have been trying pretty hard to get her to smile, but it's not proving to be an easy task. I make faces, disappear and reappear from view, tickle, whatevs! to try to elicit a grin. My efforts seem to be failing miserably - all I get right now is an intense stare.
Being that V is only just approaching five weeks, I suppose a real smile is probably still a ways away, and that I will have to content myself with her sleepy pseudo-smiles. I am trying to be patient, but it's hard! A smile would go a long way towards promoting the thought that she doesn't just think of me as her personal milkmaid (or that she's at least happy that I am!).
If you have kids, how long was it before they smiled for you?
