Rowan has started smiling. The development charts call it a "social smile", a smile that's clearly in response to an external stimulus of pleasure. The smiles are sporadic and not too predictable yet, but they've occurred in a variety of settings. Yesterday a smile was actually accompanied by a squeal of happiness when Rowan had gotten tired of being on his tummy so I turned him over in his Winnie-the-Pooh play gym. As soon as he got on his back and saw the brightly colored Tigger toy swinging above him, Rowan smiled and let out a yelp of happiness! I absolutely couldn't believe it, and I was so sorry Tom was out walking the dog. I know there are many repeats of the smile yet to come, though! When the smiles become more predictable, and when I can stop being so floored by them so that I actually think to grab the camera, there will be smily Rowan pictures galore here! Stay tuned.
