Allie has been laughing for quite awhile, now. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to catch it on camera. This is for a few reasons: 1) Whenever she sees the camera, she gets interested in it and forgets about what was making her laugh. 2) She has a funny sense of humor. She'll think something is funny once; if you repeat something that really got her laughing before, she'll look at you and maybe smile, but not laugh like before. It's actually kind of funny because random things will make her laugh. Both Mommy and Daddy, but especially Mommy, will make all types of sounds and faces just in attempt to make Allie laugh. Some things that prove successful, most of the time, are shaking her legs, shaking her arms, a new crinkly page book, and beeping in tune to ode to joy (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpcUxwpOQ_A to see where we got the idea - we imitate Beaker from the Muppets). After many attempts to get her laughing on film, this is what we have to share.
First is just two pictures of her with her new toy, the book with crinkly pages, with a sound bite of her laughing. The other day we went to Walmart and decided to check out the baby toy aisle. We knew she liked thinks that crinkle, so when we saw the book, we thought we would hold it up in front of her to see if she would like it. She started cracking up. She was still laughing pretty good when we got the cell phone out to record her laughing. So here it is:
On occasion we will let Allie watch some Baby Einstein videos on YouTube. She likes the Baby Mozart, Beethoven, and Galileo videos. She seems to enjoy the music, lights, and especially when they show anything with smiley faces. Here is a little clip of her watching the Galileo video. She laughs at a little kangaroo.
She is so adorable! I love her laugh. Hope you feel better.
