So according to all of the baby books I read - Emmett should smile ANY day now. Starting at 6 weeks they are a little more social and aware of their surroundings. But I still haven't seen anything yet. Ben says he smiled at him yesterday while he was counting to him (in Chinese) but I have my doubts (sshhhh. Don't tell him). Anyway, in my mind ONE smile doesn't count. It has to be consistent smiling. So whenever E. is awake I talk to him, play games, sing songs, tickle him hoping he will crack a smile. But he's giving me nothing. Nada. Zip.
All I get now are sleep grins. This is when the baby smiles in his sleep. He doesn't KNOW he's smiling. Basically his face is twitching while he is falling asleep and to us it looks like a smile. I'll take what I can get now. I managed to catch one of those fleeting twitches the other day.
Notice his eyes are not fully open. But it's still a cute smile, right?!

That is SOOOOO cute!!!
You might try singing "baby got back" like Ross and Rachel on Friends. I hear it works like a charm. :)
He did smile, probably at my bad pronunciation. If only Ben never read this blog.
