My 3.5 month old baby smiles and babbles the whole time but he does not laugh yet. should i be worried? when do babies generally start to laugh?

Laughing and babblin: Your son is doing just fine! Babbling responsively is the beginnings of verbal communication and probably more important than laughing. The deliciousness that is a baby's laugh is not far behind. It can be hard to wait.
