Freaking out at the imprinting thing...

My youngest is four months old, and he smiles. A lot.

What I want to know is, what the hell is he smiling at?

I make funny faces, funny sounds. Oo-ba-doo-bee. Shit like that. But what, specifically, makes the grin crack?

Is he copying my smile? Are my words and faces THAT pleasing to look at? Or is it my intent that elicits the response?

If parents never smiled, would their babies never smile, too?
