The sweetest is when he wakes up in the morning and we say “Gooodddd morningggg” in a high pitch voice 🥹


The_Answer_Is_42__

Oh yes, the biggest smiles, I love getting her up in the morning 🥰


mimosaholdtheoj

Me too! 5am diaper changes and he’s all gums smiling and cooing


psykee333

I have a good morning song that my 7mo loves. Plus it makes me less upset that we're up before 6.


giuliamazing

Keep that up! \ My toddler wakes us up with the same good morning song I sang for months, it's the sweetest thing 😭🤍


aoirse22

What morning song? That’s the sweetest thing!


psykee333

I just made it up. It's a riff on whatever my mom used to sing me 😀


sicksadwhirled714

We do this except I even say it when she wakes up from a nap - even if it’s at 3pm 😂😂


BeersBooksBSG

same, we say good moooooorning, every time he wakes up hahah.


softgothmami

omg us too! hahahah glad it’s not just us


vanillamoon-

Same. 😂


pizzaisit

We've been saying it to my son since he was born. He's now 9 months and this morning I heard him say "goo"..we are getting close to good morning. I'm very happy.


swatikadam

Ours 4 mo and he hums us back 😄🥰


trenity

This is my answer too! I love the baby stretches and big smile!!!


poptartbaby420

My 8 month old wakes me up fussing, however when I walk in and say Hiiiiiiii babyyyy, he reaches and lunges towards me giggling. Being a parent is the best.


SnooGrapes7062

Omg this is so accurate, it’s cute that we do this to our LO and the first thing they do is give us a Big ol Smile


swatikadam

We do the same thing!


Slow_Pause6345

This!!! No matter what mood he’s in from bedtime/a nap 🥹


mothercom

My sneeze. That's why, whenever I'm about to sneeze, I rush to him so he can laugh.


Brockenblur

😂 Meanwhile, my baby looks deeply offended every time I sneeze.


throwradoodoopoopoo

Up until my son was 7-8 months he would hear my husband sneeze from all the way across the house upstairs, it was super faint, and he would STILL burst into tears 😂


Few_Platform_3932

My baby used to hate her Dad's sneezing, so I made fake sneezing sounds at her as a game. She thinks everyone's sneezes are funny now, including her own. Her 3 sisters helped with the sneezing game, so now when she sneezes she looks for one of us to smile at because she did the funny thing.


isolatednovelty

I love this replacement behavior you created for her comfort. Great job parent!


Few_Platform_3932

Damn, nothing like props from an internet stranger to make you realize how badly you need a little praise!


isolatednovelty

That story really warmed my heart today and got me excited to help beautiful things happen like this. From grump to smiles over something silly? Seems like a joy of ever changing life. All props to you! Don't forget you can praise yourself or look at your happy children when you need it- you made that shit happen! Good job. I'm proud of parents like you


throwradoodoopoopoo

Oh yeah he always liked fake sneezes but the loud dad sneeze couldn’t ever be tolerated 🤣


travelbear90

My husband and I do exactly the same thing! Little one used to cry so much at every sneeze so we ended up going “achoo! Achoo!” In a silly voice, and now we’re stuck doing that forever. I feel like I do it so much I’ll end up doing it whilst I’m out somewhere without him. Tbh I love it because he gives the biggest smiles after a shocked face every time. I also have to pretend blow my nose after every real nose blow for the same reason. He’s a sensitive soul 🥹


Foreign-Class-2081

Glad to hear Im not the only one whose baby bursts into tears at sneezes (hes 10 months old now and will do sad annoyed face and maybe some puckering if in a good mood before the sneeze; complete meltdown if he is already tired or cranky :(.


The_Answer_Is_42__

Lol same, sneezes get a very cute sad face from my baby.


Bugsandgrubs

Everytime our baby sneezes or coughs, we say "Oh Dear!!" very dramatically, and he laughs. So now if he's about to sneeze or cough, he'll look around for us making sure he's going to get a reaction 😂 And he occasionally fakes a cough for it too!


luckyleoo

My son just started with the fake coughing too.. hilarious!


Bugsandgrubs

He puts it on even more around Grandma! 😂


Bissonnerd

My girl gave me her first big open-mouth smile one morning around 5 weeks when I dabbed her milky chin after a feed lol she's 4 months now & the dab-dab-dabbing still cracks her up every time!! Lol Lately she also loves when I bring her to a mirror and gasp and say 'hello babyyyyyy!!', even if she was fussy a moment before, it always gets a chuckle xD


littlepawroars

Mine loves this too! She thinks it is even more funny when I call her a “princess with royal treatment” in a high pitch lol


catherineaimei

I ALWAYS do the “dab dab dab dab dab” and he giggles like crazy 🥹


Bissonnerd

Hahaha I love it!! Absolutely intoxicating ❤️ Especially when they're still all drooly & milky, just laughin' it up 😂


dizzy3087

Ours too! He loves it… I make a high pitch Beep Beep Beep Beep, while Im doing it. Biggest smiles 🥰


Bissonnerd

Lol yes!!! I make exaggerated beep boop noises too, always cracks her up! Haha so cuuuuute! ❤️


alylew1126

When I try to “eat” his feet lol


coffeelover12345_

For mine it’s when I rub my nose against his feet! At first I thought he was ticklish but he just seems to find my nose funny 😂


Most-Region-8597

Any ceiling lamp..


Brockenblur

My kiddo is a huge fan of fans, ceiling fans that is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


raquifornia

My baby’s first smile was directed at the ceiling fan 😂


smittykittytreefitty

Same lol


pb_rogue

We call all the ceiling fans her "#1 fan"


kt_m_smith

Munching the baby neck or baby ribs


Whatsy0ursquat

Add some baby toes and you've got a full course meal


jaffajelly

His Daddy walking into the room, or me smiling at him in the mirror.


psykee333

Mirrors and dad are no fails here, too


Tigglebee

Ours just started smiling but it’s on another level when he sees his momma. Totally adorable.


Intelligent-Fig-7213

Always smiles at dad!


Talking_Gibberish

When we say "agoooo!" (Her favourite thing to say).


AndrewDesign1990

lmao yep we have agooooo conversations back and forth forever.


smittykittytreefitty

Lol yeah my LO says agoo and then blows raspberries and loves it when I copy both


robber_maiden

My son's, too!! Just agoo babies here. He grins so big ❤️


Popular_Sugar1545

Hahah mine loves to say “agigigi” and loves it even more when we say it back.


SpiteEducational229

Yeyyyy we have an “Agoooo” baby too. We decided it’s his way of saying “I love you” hahaha


MyBabyPeanut

This is our girls favorite word too! She loves when we just repeat it back and forth.


hooba_hooba

My husband, looking at him with zero expression at all. Meanwhile I'm the house jester over here and that boy makes me *work* for those smiles. 😮‍💨


jaffajelly

SAME! I feel like a clown trying to get a smile when his dad’s getting full belly laughs for just existing.


Foreign-Class-2081

Rofl. I felt this comment deeply. The other day my husband was sitting down on the couch. Staring at his phone. Our 10 month old kept looking at him and giggling hysterically. Husband never looked up or even noticed. Didnt seem to bother our baby, he just kept looking at him and giggling and babbling away at him without him even noticing. I was like, "what is wrong with you?! I have to work so hard for that level of delight and engagement from him, and you don't even notice?!." (This is not a husband bashing comment; he's a great dad. Just a ... this situation is unfair haha.)


pipocas08

Oh I feel this. His daddy walked in the room and started talking to me and this boy was straight up belly laughing. I'm lucky if I get a little chuckle


Initial_Deer_8852

Opening and closing the blinds lol


kitty_kate_93

Yes! What's up with that? After naps or in the morning when i open the blinds, baby is smiling from ear to ear.


Initial_Deer_8852

Glad he’s not the only kid! Haha. My son always wakes up unhappy and opening his blinds is usually the first thing he smiles at … not me, of course😂


imanicole

- Whenever I sing her the good morning song (same one my dad used to sing to me). - blowing raspberries at her/on her feet - chomping her neck/cheeks - when Daddy gets home from work - calling her a pretty girl in the mirror


Mysterious_Mango_3

Flying him around like a fighter jet, letting him shake his pecan tree, chomping on his neck, tapping his chest and saying his name then tapping mine and saying "mama".


dmaster5000

“Fruit salad, yummy yummy! Fruit salad, yummy yummy! Yummy yummy yummy yummy fruit salaaaaaad!” I think its from The Wiggles. She’s only 3.5 months old and really digs my terrible voice.


dj_petunia

This is on a constant loop in my brain lol 😂


adjblair

This has been an earworm since I first heard it as a recording in a toy while babysitting...probably 20 years ago!


Rogue_nerd42

Her dad 😂


Tiny_dancer90

Literally, just my husband's existence is all it takes to light up her day 😂


Nitrothacat

My girl is almost 9 weeks. She’s not interactive yet but whenever she sees either of us after we’re away for a while she stares and does an open mouth smile for a while. We sleep in shifts currently so we get to see it quite a bit. She’s been doing that for two weeks now.


coffeelover12345_

Awww so cute! I believe very soon (like in the next 1-2 weeks!) your sweet baby girl will become interactive and it will be sooooo exciting for you! You can try to mimic her sounds (like aaa oooo whatever she does), then wait for her to make a new sound, again mimic, and so on. I had full-on “conversations” like this with my son at 2 months old and it was soooo sweet! I read that it makes babies feel seen, heard and validated and like they matter, and it makes them happy and helps the bond. Ahhh sweet memories!


Froggy101_Scranton

( . ) ( . )


Training-Muscle-211

For a while this was us and I fully embraced it by making them “dance” while singing my milkshake to her while “preparing her buffet”


Froggy101_Scranton

You gotta do whatever you gotta do when preparing the house white!


SpiteEducational229

The house white is the best term I’ve ever heard for breast milk. Bravo


Training-Muscle-211

It’s that or succumb to the sleep deprivation


Old_Pension_5717

when i pretend to sneeze after her, so funny when mama does it apparently, my baby is 1 year


Thelaziestof_jims

THE CLAW!


Wuhtthewuht

My LO start smiling last week (6 weeks old now) and so far he smiles at any sentence with the word mommy in it <3


Qihai7

My dogs. We got a mean-looking border collie with one blue eye that scares everyone who visits, and my baby girl just loves her. She just has to walk by and makes her laugh. Her first ever laugh was when our doggie barked (loudly). Also. Blowing air on her toes (?!) works wonders haha


Brockenblur

Our baby gets an uncontrollable belly laugh anytime we lean really close to her and then stand up or back away very quickly. Our faces must look funny zooming in and out


The_Answer_Is_42__

Getting sung to on the changing table, and just the changing table in general. She loves going to get a clean diaper, and even better when I sing her the 'clean the butt' song lol


BodyPosiMama18

Telling her I love her 🥰


Wuhtthewuht

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹


marylamb2020

saying good morning every day when we wake up 🥰


Rebecca123457

“Pee-pee poo-poo” 😅


acceber-

When I whisper in her ear like I’m telling her a secret 🤫 but it’s always “you smell like cheese” or “I’m gonna eat your toes”


k_writenow

When I sing his name in the tone that I've always used with him since day 1 of coming home 🤗


PastaandPages

The song Skinnamarink. Works every single time.


Brockenblur

Oh wow, you just woke up a long dead neuron. Going to go sing that to my baby right now…


heartsoflions2011

Telling him how cute he is. And also listing off random vegetables in a high-pitched voice


stellardreamscape

When she passes Gas


Round_Policy5766

Our dog. Literally him just sitting there. If she looks at him for more than 5 seconds she busts up laughing 😂


Olives_And_Cheese

'Eating' her. Any body part; it doesn't matter the level of the tantrum, she finds it fucking hilarious getting her feet/hands/elbow eaten. I have done a nappy change with her foot in my mouth before 😂.


CockroachHot7350

Eye contact!


kitty_kate_93

Putting my mouth on my baby's belly or legs and blowing. Google says is a raspberry kiss.


fudbag

Anytime i say, SILLY BABYYYY! He cracks up


Ok_General_6940

When I go to pick him up in the morning he smiles and gets the full body wiggles


mimosaholdtheoj

Our LO is 13weeks and his favorite “words” right now are woooooo and hoooo. If you say that to him with a big cheesy smile, he breaks into a huge gummy grin and says them back to you.


indigogoinggone

I blink twice while saying “point point!”, like a surprised cartoon character who just took their glasses off 💕💕💕


moremacadonimorechee

"Do you have some secrets you need to reveal?" lol idk why but he always smiles so big like he knows something I don't.


runa_lordess

1. cat 2. me making "bluehh" sound 3. food


Whatshername_Stew

When 8 tell him "no" or "yucky" when he's about to put something in his mouth that he shouldn't. It's a problem


Appropriate-Lime-816

We have a 30 second video of her laughing. She can be in the midst of a full on meltdown and that video will stop the tears in their tracks for the entire 31 seconds it lasts and then they’ll start up again 😂


Tyrandeeee

Seeing a picture of himself smiling also works wonders for my son when he's scream-crying 😂


tsb_11_1

When I cross my eyes and stick out my tongue


lilwook2992

“Beans beans nothing but beans!”


robber_maiden

So many things, I'm so lucky! When I smooch his feet; When I smooch his cheek right by his nose; Eye contact with Mom or Dad; "Talking" with him (Agoo! Gah! Oooooh!); Looking at himself in the mirror; Waking him up in the morning We're in the depths of the 4 month sleep regression and it's rough. I love this thread, thank you 🙂


Ha_Na_Ko_91

Good ol „boooh“ while hide and seek


Best_Alternative_276

Neck kisses and when I make a “click” sound w/my mouth! Baby is very interested in copying that sound hehe


jasmin35w

Saying I love you with a big smile and kissing his hand And daddy says Habschoo and he smiles as well


ewecorridor

38 weeks and a few days. I imagine waking me up in the middle of the night tap dancing on my cervix is what currently makes my baby smile 😮‍💨🙃


Delalishia

When we growl at her haha it started as a little joke that my husband would growl at her and now it’s one of her favorite things that we do. She smiles and starts laughing so hard when we do it. Only downside is when she is around dogs we will have to teach her that growling is not a good thing lol


colonel424

Me singing Sexyy Red gets him every time


pugglelover1

When I sniff his butt


Fantastic_Basil_2697

Seeing my nipple. It elicits a full out giggle.


iijjjijjjijjiiijjii

"Bonk." She head butted me once when she was little, then did it again when I said "bonk" in response, which made me laugh and she never forgot. Now it's a form of greeting between us. She can't go to sleep at night without a hug, a high five, and a bonk.


smartgirl410

Ms.Rachel 100% 😅🥹❤️-she could be having a tantrum but as soon as she here Ms.rachel her eyes light up and she starts giggling and smiling!


bagmami

goBillsLFG

Sniffing her diaper, she loves to sneeze, the swing at the park

missmuisy

Fake sneezes!!! I love it


startgirl

Putting my fist up and patting her with them like I’m punching while saying “pew pew pew pew” 😂 or taking her feet and kicking me in the face with them while saying “pew pew pew pew”


pizzaisit

Peekaboo with my sister always has my baby smiling.


sunsetscorpio

When he wakes up I sing him a little good morning song. He smiles every time


happygeuxlucky

My dog has allergies and when the poor dog is coughing and huffing it sends the baby into a hysterical laughter.


Plsbeniceorillcry

When I pretend like I’m going to chase him. Or playing inai inai baa (peek-a-boo)


Soft_Bodybuilder_345

Coughs


sunshinedaisies9-34

3 months old - If we take a blanket or cloth and rub it on her lips she smiles:)


FTM3505

When my husband burps or when I lift up my shirt to breastfeed. She claps her hands and says milkkkkkkkk so excitedly.


Stegles

When my dog jumps on the bed to say hi in the morning when I’m waking my daughter up. She really loves to see Elsa and just wants to pat her. Elsa is the dog btw, border collie. My daughter likes her more than Seven (older male border collie) because Elsa tries to interact with her.


Ferryboat25

When I blow raspberries at him


emojimovie4lyfe

When i sing the verse of down with the sickness “ the oooh ahh ah ah “ 😂


BeersBooksBSG

Any time I go mmmmmm-uah! and really wind up the mmm he goes crazy lol


Philintheblank90

Saying agoooo gagoooo or making funny car sounds like Vrrrrooooommmmm pshhhhh


peachykeen-17

Squeezing his cheeks 3 times while saying “lookit those cheeks!”, or pulling his bottom lip down and saying “hellooooooo in there!”


Street-Cartoonist142

My baby smiles when I blow her a kiss, it makes me SO HAPPY


coolhandslucas

My natural hair is curly and when it's a little long I can shake my head forward and backwards and it 'floofs' around. And my little guy thought it was hilarious, even a year later it'll still get him. The latest thing is taking a wet facecloth and splatting it on the shower wall during bath time.


cherryprincessy

Just talking to my 5 month old, people she loves get kicky legs when they talk to her as well as a huge smile but strangers also get such a big smile without fail 😍


Kittens_in_mittens

Just learned this today… bopping her gently in the face with a balloon


PMMEYOURNOODLEDISHES

I giggle at him. It lights up his world. It completely makes my day.


New-Web5100

Food, cuddles, massages singing to him, reading him a book. He is not hard to please which is wonderful.


walphriggum69

Pretending to eat his feet 😅


UnusualCorgi6346

Our dog 🐶


al3xis333

Mom. That’s all it takes usually lol just my face.


pgglsn

Lately the word “oboe” gets all the smiles/chuckles


adhcthcdh23

Snuffling her tummy and neck


Foreign-Class-2081

Literally any word with "oop" in it; poop, loop, coop, oop, stoop, troop, he thinks is hysterical. I think it started with him finding the word and reality of poop funny. He's obsessed with chorus of TSwifts "Shake it Off" (players gonna play-play-play-play and haters gonna hate-hate-hate-hate-hate), the repetition makes him giggle hysterically. It was my least favorite Swift song but now it is very valued because it always works 😆. A made up song: "bounce-y, bounce, y-bouncy bouncy Kayden" that we sing while bouncing him. That one works 99.9 percent of the time - the bouncing only works to cheer him if paired with the song 😆.


jules13131382

Tickling him and making goochie noises


earthlover6312

swatikadam

Aww that's so sweet 🥰 My baby smiles when I roll my tongue 🤭


dinosaurteathyme

She smiles every time I use the nose frida to suck boogers out of her nose. The first time I used it she had this huge gross booger dangling from her nose and the most adorable grin lol


mercurialtwit

mine gets the biggest smile on his face when we say in the ms rachel tone “mamaaaaa?” (i started saying that to him in the newborn phase on a daily basis before i finally gave in to letting him watch her) but now he also gets a big ass smile when he hears/sees her do it in her videos as well. he also smiles big when i’m changing his poopy diaper, and in the highest pitch squeak i go “your such a poopy baaaaayyyyyybieeeeeee!! your SUCH a POOPY BAAAAYYYYYYBIEEEEE!!!!” lol


Foreign-Class-2081

Saying "Kick-kick-kick" or "whack-whack-whack" . He loves it and enthusiastically kicks or whacks away whenever we do it.


Teeny19

We ask him “did you poop your pants??” Something about that combination of words just tickles his funny bone

Lenka_II

I wouldn't say without fail but I'm trying to teach my 13 week old vowels sounds so I keep saying them over and over again... "Ah" "Eh"... And he smiles so widely each time. We're just waiting for when that smile is accompanied by a giggle.


Chaotic_shrooms

Right now It’s when I say “Kitty kitty kitty”, she thinks the cats are hilarious.


catherineaimei

Making the motorboat sound with my lips while wiggling his lips as if he’s making the sound! I can’t think of a better way to describe it 😂😂 but he always smiles/giggles when I do it!

HangryShadow

When I walk ahead of him being carried up the stairs, I pause and turn around. It’s a throw your head back, full bodied laugh 🤣


arnolas40

He is extremely ticklish. I ask him what he's having for lunch and tell him I'm going to have baby riblets while making chomping sounds and tickling him with my face.


ApprehensiveWin7256
