Babies’ laughter expresses happiness and pleasure and supports their physical and mental development. In addition, it indicates that the little one is healthy.
Smile, laugh, laugh? As your baby grows, his sense of humor also develops. The first time the corners of the mouth smile is usually in dreams, and experts say it is a reflection. But little by little you discover that when you smile at him, he responds with another smile. Although he does not yet recognize faces, he tells you that he feels comfortable in the world and that he enjoys your company very much. Around the age of five months, he already examines the faces, and while he loves to smile at mom and dad, and even begins to give his first shouts of joy, the strangers do not make even a trace of a smile. Afterward, a wide catalog of smiles will appear: that of pride, that of pure pleasure, that of you no longer deceive me, that of seduction (there is no one who resists it), and already, when it has been a year, the defiant, which really isn’t. He appears when Mom surprises him by doing something he shouldn’t and displays it to calm the enemy.
Their smiles
1. Who can stay serious when they kiss you and tickle you?
Daddy kisses her tummy, tickles her, bites her and smiles, always smiles? And one fine day, when the baby is almost two months old, she launches herself to reward him with a social gesture: you make me feel good, I repay you with a little smile.
2. He is asleep, but a small tremor starts around the eyes and forehead and, little by little, reaches the corners of the lips: The baby is in the middle of a deep sleep! It is a magical moment. In some cultures it is known as an angel smile (for the Guardian), but what is clear is that your little angel is relaxed and happy.
3. I also know how to do this, I am the best. His little face is radiant: After knocking down the tower of blocks with a single blow, he is already strong and older. From the age of seven or eight months, your baby is happy when he discovers that he is capable of doing something new without help. And he reaffirms each achievement with a happy and proud laugh, which in most cases ends in a loud laugh.
4. You don’t fool me anymore, I know it’s a game. Over the months, your baby learns that the world has a certain order, that Mom does not use a pacifier, that when it disappears behind the napkin, it is hidden; that if he walks away, then he comes back and gets very close, and he laughs every time Mom repeats these games.
