Ross didn't smile at all until he was about 7 months old. In fact he didn't really interact with us at all up until then; he didn't even cry for the first few months, then he could cry but couldn't be pacified.
Since the end of 2008 though, he has definitely been interacting with us more. You can calm him when he's screaming, he definitely knows his big brother Fin, and when you tickle him in the right places you generally get a big gummy grin. Whilst it's still difficult at times, these smiles make looking after Ross so much more rewarding than it was before.
