Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Whewhoo! I'm so happy for you. The smiles are precious. Enjoy! Tina Tina Thank you! Re: Smiling.... Just a quick note to say thank you to all the lovely people who sent messages of hope that Tommy would smile. At 5 months of age, our Tommy has learnt how to smile and I am wasting a lot of hours just sitting and playing with him and waiting for the next beautiful smile! I am hoping the neck strength will improve next. Fingers crossed. Thanks again for your kindness and support x > > , > > I remember thinking exactly the same thing - I just wanted Max to smile so that I knew he was happy. It took Max a long time to smile because he has a vision impairment as a result of his PMG. He has a cortical vision impairment that resulted in taking him a long time to smile. > BUT, he did smile and laugh and it was probably within a year - I'm not sure exactly. > > Have you been to an eye docter yet???
