The Smile!

The Smile!

At 2 months, your baby may be very interested in faces and voices. Your baby may begin to make eye contact and imitate your facial expressions. He may coo and make vowel sounds like "ah" or "eh". Try making silly faces or stick your tongue out, and don't forget to smile. You may be rewarded with a magical smile from your little one.
