Uncertain smile

Jane is now in the developmental range for what are called social smiles (i.e., smiles not related to gas). Samson got the first one the other day. She was on her changing pad, and when he came into her room I picked him up so he could see her. Presto: big smile for big brother.

Since then, Vicki has gotten a couple. At least, that's the story she's telling.

For my part, I've gotten more of the half smile that you give someone you think you went to school with/used to work with/met at a party. You know, where you're kind of like, "Hi, I think I know you," but you don't commit to the full smile just in case you're mistaken.

If I can get a photo of one of these, I'll be sure to post it. But I wouldn't hold your breath.
