The social smile is something that sorta happens. We couldn't tell when her first social smile occurred, probably because you're always thinking "did she mean to do that, or was that gas?" But now we know that Alli is smiling at us and it just makes our hearts melt.
Alli is happiest in the morning. In fact, it's so much fun to hear her squirming in bed in the morning, making little noises to see if we'll come get her. Once we walk over and say good morning, we usually get an ear-to-ear grin as she stares up at us. I *love* that! Talking to her in the mornings is the highlight of my day, because it pretty much doesn't matter what you say, she just smiles and coos back at you.
I think Alli has a sense of humor too. I usually ask her lots of questions, not really expecting much of a response. But once in a while she'll answer back with a grunt or some sort of vocal and it will make me laugh and then she will laugh - like she meant to say something funny and it worked based on my reaction.
This morning we had some fun while feeding. Alli is on this kick lately that when we switch sides she starts squealing as though someone pierced her stomach with something sharp. Oh my - she's going to die of starvation in the 1 minute is takes us to flip to the other side! OMG!!! :) So this morning we were changing sides and she started winding up for the squeal. But she opened her eyes and looked at me and I was just smiling and laughing at the sight of her antics and she stopped and smiled a big smile right back at me. But then she must have realized that she was supposed to be squealing so she stopped smiling and started fussing. That just made me laugh harder and I flipped her to the other side so she wouldn't die of starvation... :D
