The first smile

In the first month your baby primarily communicated with you by crying, but around the fifth week you will get to see his first smile! 

Your baby learns his own voice and starts making baby noises. At the end of the second month he has already discovered a lot of things; he explores what he can do with his own hands and copies your facial expressions. He can now slightly lift his head and upper body as well. 

It is good for the baby to lay him on his belly every day, because this will strengthen his back and neck muscles. He will not like this in the beginning, so slowly build up the time that your baby is laying on his belly.
