Baby laughing at 2 months

[JAB24]

Hey, I have a 9 week old son who, today, started laughing. He's been smiling for many weeks now, but I was caught a bit off guard by his laughter today. He was watching my mother and I looking through a bag of clothes and just started laughing his head off while sat on my dad's knee! He kept doing it every time we rattled the plastic bag and had a massive grin on his face.

Every thing I've read online says it's too early for them to be genuinely laughing, but this was a real hearty laugh. Has anyone else's child laughed at 2 months and were they early with other milestones? This is my first child so I've no idea about what's 'normal' or not 😅

So so so so cute!!! Congrats on your little one, and how joyful to hear him laugh so happily!
My now 7mo started laughing quite early (I can't really remember when, but I'd say 9-10w too?) He had also started smiling quite early, maybe 4wo or so. He then started crawling at 5mo and he has been pulling himself up to stand since he was 6mo!!! Now at 7mo, he just wants to try and stand up and he is trying to cruise, although obviously his little feet and legs aren't strong enough, he gets so frustrated 😄 He's my 2nd, and my 1st really didn't care about moving at all, she was just happy just plopped there with someone to entertain her (she only walked at 15mo, wasn't really interested before that.) But, she also started talking super early and was making "complex" sentences and articulate really well very early too! (By 2 yo she was making proper little sentences and all). Anyways, trying to say that they often focus on 1 aspect of development more than others, it seems to be their jam at that moment and they go for it fully 😅

Completely normal, my baby also started laughing at or before 2 months old. He started smiling before one month old. The emotional milestones he's hitting them ahead of time but the physical ones just on time.

Yes my son did this! He was laughing in his sleep from birth, and then laughing properly from 2/3 months. He has always been a very emotional little thing, he feels emotions strongly! He’s always been ahead on the social/emotional development milestones, more so than the others.
