They certainly aren't remembering the delivery! That is a traumatic process (and a rude awakening from a peaceful and familiar environment).

I have 5 children and my newest newborn began smiling, AND LAUGHING AT THE SAME TIME SHE WAS SMILING while sleeping, at several hours old. She obviously has no life experience and, since a newborns vision is blurry, had not yet seen anything that would make her smile and laugh. Many people will say smiling is a reflex babies have to make them look more appealing so they will be cared for or that it's from gas. So they are either saying babies are highly intelligent and conniving from birth -- or that the reflex/response has been programmer into them (which would point to the reality of our creator God). And, by the way, I'm not sure about anyone else... But I don't smile when I get gas!!

We are speaking of more than just smiling however... We are speaking of smiling AND laughing OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME! In the bible (I believe it's the book of Matthew) God let's us know that each child has his/her own angel (which I believe stays with us all our lives, btw). I really feel that either our babies have seen things we have only yet to see... Or that they are dreaming of their guardian angel who was with them from the beginning!!

Newborns are not physically capable of laughing as their vocal cords and muscles are not fully developed yet. However, they may smile or make cooing sounds in response to stimuli that they find pleasing. Laughter typically emerges around 3-4 months of age as babies grow and develop.
