First smile and first real laugh - these moments are insane

1w ago·1 min read

My daughter is 3 months old and yesterday she actually smiled at me on purpose. Not the gas smile, a real one. Then this morning I made a stupid face and she laughed for like 2 seconds and I swear I teared up a bit. Everything they told me about how fast this goes is making sense now. We were just changing diapers and wanting 5 minutes of sleep a month ago and now she's actually engaging. Anyone else get hit with these feelings randomly?

That's the moment right there. Everything before that is just survival mode and then suddenly she sees you and lights up. Congrats dude, this is what it's all about.

Those early smiles hit different man. That purposeful recognition that she knows you and is happy to see you? Nothing else compares. Wait until the first laugh though, that's going to wreck you in the best way.

Three months in and you're already creating core memories. Those genuine smiles are what get you through the rough nights. You're doing great.

Man, those real smiles hit different. Wait until she laughs for the first time - that sound will absolutely wreck you in the best way. Cherish every stupid face moment because they grow so fast.

The real smile is absolutely wild. You'll never forget that moment. Cherish these early months because they fly by. Three months in and you're just getting started with the good stuff.
