Um, if that baby is 3 weeks old in that picture, then why does Matthew still have on his hospital bracelet? I think the baby is fairly new in that picture. However, my son smiled at about 5 weeks, and it made me cry.

That’s not really that early - the kid is 3+ weeks now. Babies can get social smiles (smiling in response to you) pretty early - 6 weeks is the average, but it has a pretty wide standard deviation. (My daughter smiled readily at 3 weeks - the cutest, juiciest things you’ve ever seen. Sigh…)

That second picture is great, too! On the first picture, they just happened to click the camera at the EXACT right moment to be able to catch that “smile”, but it is darn cute.

Matthew McWhatever looks very greasy in that picture. Is he too busy with the baby to shower?
Very cute baby, though.

They should’ve photoshopped down the size of Matt’s hands. Maybe it’s just the angle, but it’s freakshow large, especially juxtaposed to that (super cute!) tiny baby head.

I’ll admit, the baby is cute. But… is it only me who thinks this kid has a huge nose for an infant?? Babies usually have such tiny little noses. This kids nose is very large for a baby.

Babies have to learn to control their facial muscles, and in an effort to do that they will smile from the second they’re born, but it’s not a social smile….yet!
