First Laugh

About a week ago a friend of mine with 5 kids asked me whether Lucy had started laughing yet. I said no, and she responded with. "Well, don't expect to be the one to make her do it, first. Your kids will, before you ever do." I remember scoffing at her, thinking that of course I will make her laugh first, I am the one with her 24 hours a day.

All that day I made funny faces, tickled her, etc, etc. to no prevail. A few smiles, but not a hint of a laugh. Well, that night I put Lucy in the Abby's room so that she and Parker could entertain Lucy while I cooked. And coming from the bedroom what did I hear...well, see for yourself.



So, there you go. I guess I know my place.

That was SO adorable. And quite a good laugh for her first time. She must have been practicing in secret.

I guess moms just arent that funny to babies. None of my kids laughed very much except Abby. And it is usually one of the other kids making her do it. She is so cute!
