[tri-med] Re: still not smiling???

Alex started smiling around 4 months from memory, consistent smiling didn't
happen until he was about 18 months. He didn't belly laugh until he was
about 18 months too. Even though he has a beautiful smile, they are few and
far between. In Alex's case its because of low tone and also because he is
missing so many muscles from the left side of his face smiling is actually
hard work. Plus these days he is very aware that when he smiles only one
side of his face moves, so he has developed this impish sort of bland smile.

I have not lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere.
