DS has been laughing in his sleep since around a week old. It's quite possibly the most amazing sound in the world . Obviously he doesn't do it when awake yet (he's 4 weeks old) but he spends the first half of every night giggling, grinning and shaking with mirth.
Why do they do this? DD did the same but a few weeks later. He can't laugh when awake but when asleep he seems to be playing Eddie Izzard in his head.
I wonder if it's a reflex or if he's actually developing emotions.
