Jonah has started laughing.
Baby laughter that bubbles up from their bellies is one of the sweetest and most joyful sounds on Earth. I'm speaking from memory because I haven't actually heard Jonah laugh yet. One time he came really close to laughing during bath time, but it didn't last long enough to satisfy my need for baby laughter.
Others have heard him laugh. My mother heard him laugh. Some friends at church heard him laugh - a lot apparently. Shawn heard him just this morning. Not I though....not I!
It's certainly not for lack of effort though. I spend a lot of time holding him up in the air making goofy noises and faces that require me to throw all self consciousness out the window. I've tried singing silly songs. Apparently the surprise "POP" in pop goes the weasel isn't that funny after all. The reaction I normally get is a look from Jonah that says, "what's this lady thinking?"
Have you been there? Are you with me? Do you make the most ridiculous faces and voices in an attempt to make a baby laugh? It's a good thing I'm not a comedian because if I had to get paid in laughter I'd be flat broke!
