Thanks for your replies,

Misty, your son was born on the same day as my daughter! Looks like they're on the same page.

Just wondering if these are common too:
- smiles are hard to come by (we really have to work hard and do funny things to get one)
- her hands are clinched most of the time (she has them relaxed when she is drowsy or sleeping) but has them clinched when she is feeding, being changed, or excited by something.

Thanks again!

My firstborn didn't smile for 3 months after being born. It really depends on the baby as to when they smile and how much. They have individual personalities even at this age.

There are a whole bunch of us with babies born around the same dates, you should come and join us for a chat in the Babies born 1st-15thAugust 2009 thread.
