Come chat with me and tell me it gets easier! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014696 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 21:16:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1014696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: after I said that she totally has been awake and alert all night. I feel like you wants more interaction but I don't know what to do. She's mostly just fussing anyway though- we keep thinking she's asleep and look down to see eyes wide open staring back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014403 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:59:48 +0000 Bookish 1014403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: It is 0_0 Today was a miraculous day; she slept from 9-1130 and 1230-3. She NEVER sleeps that much during the day. I actually had time to like, DO things! hahahaaaa.... I might be going a little insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014302 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:10:45 +0000 Cherrybee 1014302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, that sounds about right. E is awake for her food and nappy change, then she starts yawning and if you don't get her to sleep quick (which involves much rocking and is often impossible due to her wind issues) meltdown will ensue. I wonder when people do the interaction thing!! </p> <p>@Bookworm: Eek! I sure hope that isn't the norm, it sounds exhausting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014226 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:32:55 +0000 mediagirl 1014226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: at that age? Lots of sleep, poop, spit up, eating and the awesome drunk face post bottle or nurse session. It just keeps getting better month by month. Promise. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014178 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:07:10 +0000 Bookish 1014178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh my gosh so cute!!!</p> <p>@Cherrybee: I'd have to look at my log, but LO was ridiculously awake from like 3ish weeks. I don't think she's the norm though. Most three week olds sleep a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014160 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:57:45 +0000 mrsbookworm 1014160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 6 weeks. It was so exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014156 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:54:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 1014156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: C is only two weeks, but she has maybe half an hour of awake time throughout the day-- in maybe 5-10 minute spurts? She is mostly eating or sleeping, though sometimes when she eats her eyes are kind of freakishly wide open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014128 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:41:12 +0000 Cherrybee 1014128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, so cute!! I can't wait for this - I really need some positive feedback from her!! </p> <p>At three weeks old, how much awake time do your babies have? Mine is either sleeping, eating or screaming for sleep or food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014062 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:05:38 +0000 yerpie110 1014062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere between 5-6 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014038 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:54:15 +0000 HLK208 1014038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: love!!!</p> <p>Around 5 weeks with both LO's!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1014001 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:41:15 +0000 travellingbee 1014001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Tee hee so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1013621 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:38:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1013621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1013557 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:22:58 +0000 Pepper 1013557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started socially smiling around 5 weeks, and now at almost 7 weeks, the smiles and coos are a lot more consistent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1013552 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:21:27 +0000 heartonastring 1013552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 weeks and 1 day and I have it on camera! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-smiling#post-1013471 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:58:08 +0000 mediagirl 1013471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 5-6 weeks.

It seems to be in response to certain displays of affection, or DH and I smiling/coo'ing down at her) for the last week. She's a month old, today.
