Hey Mamas! It's been about 8 weeks since I've posted on here. Life with a newborn has left me little time to do anything besides bathe, eat, wash diapers, and let my boob hang out all day for the baby.
Evelyn is doing fabulously health-wise, nursing very well, gaining weight, pooping, peeing, holding her head up, being generally adorable, but she's *still* not smiling. I think she has sort of smiled at me about 5 times since she's been born and I read that this is still normal. Some babies don't smile until 3 months, am I right? I know this is lame.. every baby develops at their own pace and this doesn't mean she's necessarily abnormal. I still feel pretty tense that I can't get her to smile. My DP's youngest sister is severely autistic so there's this nagging in my head that makes me wonder if Evelyn is going to be the same way.
Ugh! Can anyone please help me feel better about this smiling thing or offer some words of wisdom? Thanks.

Hopefully you'll get to see those lovely smiles soon
