a laughing matter

Do babies smile from the get-go? Of course the typical answer is no, it's gas. But I've also read people who say otherwise. I don't really know.

But, I think that my baby smiles. She doesn't smile at me for sure, but she smiles in her sleep about whatever is making her happy at the time (dreams of heaven perhaps? or just of good milk?). I know that these are actual smiles (at least some of the time) because she also chuckles in her sleep.

An infant chuckle is a great sound, and Baby makes the sound already. The first time I doubted. The second time I heard it I knew for sure she was laughing. The third time I just enjoyed it. She chuckles. I love it.
