Minimal smiling and laughing

Hello all,

does anyone have a little one that didn’t smile or laugh much? We have an 11 month old daughter.
Seems happy enough, does smile a little, but never any of the huge wide mouth excited about something smiles (we have a 4 year old boy who did this all the time) and doesn’t really laugh either other than ever now and again at her brother, nothing else.

similarly she isn’t that fussed about mirrors, but did do the looking at self and banging them a little when younger, eye contact with us is ok too but nothing amazing.

we’re worried there might be something socially she is a little behind on / missing?
she does however point, loves to share things with us, will bring us books to be read. Waves etc. no words yet just babbling (though no M or B consonants yet which we are starting to wonder / worry about). We do sing and sign classes and she even has a couple of signs she uses to communicate now which is fun.

but the lack of smiling & laughter has us a little worried. Anyone else had this?
