Our daughter is 2 months and started doing these genuine smiles at us this week. Not just the random newborn grimaces but actual recognition smiles when she sees our faces. It honestly hit me different than I expected. All the sleepless nights and chaos suddenly felt worth it. When did your baby hit this milestone? Can't wait to see what comes next.
Those smiles are pure magic. Wait until she laughs for the first time, totally different level. You're going to be a great dad.
This is one of those magic moments that makes all the sleepless nights worth it. Get some good photos because time moves fast and you'll want to remember this stage.
Enjoy this phase. Before you know it she'll be a teenager and you'll miss the days when a smile was all it took to make her happy.
That's the best feeling in the world. My daughter is almost 4 now and I still remember those first real smiles at 8 weeks like it was yesterday. Congrats man, this is just the beginning of the good stuff.

Those real smiles hit different man. Our daughter started around the same time and we were taking videos of everything. It's wild when they go from random grimaces to actually smiling at you like they recognize you.
Two months is right in the sweet spot for real smiles. Enjoy it because they just keep getting better from here. Wait until she laughs for the first time, that'll melt you completely.
