Laughter

Today, Sunday, is Sydney's two-month birthday. That means it's time for another picture with her stuffed animal. Notice the attempt at a smile. I hope she didn't pick that up from her Aunt Heather. (Private family joke.)



And below is her one-month picture with Fievel Mousekewitz that's not quite as clear.



Being two months old is a big, important day for any baby. Sydney, in particular, was impatient today. She didn't think that Daddy should be sleeping so late so she came and woke me up. It was pleasant, though, and not done by crying.



And, on Saturday, and repeated on Sunday, Sydney giggled for the first time. She was a happy baby and made some gurgle, hacking, spurting kind of sounds while being happy and smiling. It sounded like, well, like a baby trying to learn how to laugh. It was one of the most precious sounds I've ever heard.



The above picture isn't from one of Sydney's giggles, but it is a smile picture we've been working hard to get. A genuine Sydney smile that is crisp, clear and sharp. Yay!
