If you're smiling at a baby upside down, does he interpret it as a smile or a frown?
It's L's second birthday on Sunday. It will be a small shindig--just the four of us, some balloons, a cake with sprinkles, and many oddly shaped presents.
'up' and 'down' aren't really spatial concepts that newborns are equipped to deal with. Remember: we're born seeing everything inverted anyways. It takes a little bit of time for the brain to wire itself to up and down. He's more interested in the shape of your face than whether it appears upside down.

BP: Now I'm wondering what an inverted smile looks like. :)
Notso: A bonfire-pizza-cake thing! Cool.
Kari: We'll catch it all on home video for you.
Daniel: Me too!
My guess is that if I'm holding a baby upside down, it knows I'm smiling...
