For a while now, I have noticed Laurie eyeing us when we are eating, so it was with some anticipation that I prepared to give her the first bowl of rice cereal. Even she seemed to be excited about having her first food. Perhaps she decided that this eating thing is not all it's cut out to be.
For about the last week, Laurie has been laughing, and I don't mean the occassional, fleeting giggle. I mean the full on belly laugh at whatever it is that a 4 month old finds funny. But actually catching it on video was tough, I was beginning to wonder if she thinks I'm boring. Today though, we had a perfect moment of hilarity. I wish I could isolate that laughter and play it over and over in my ears. What a sweet, sweet sound.
Laurie and cousin Meg were Baptized today. I am not sure I could have been more excited or more nervous. Much thought was given to when to have her up, fed and napped, ready to face the congregation. But as they say, plans do not fit into that of a 16 week old and she was un-napped come church time. Despite the threat of a looming tantrum, we lulled her to sleep and she snoozed through the entire ceremony, showing herself as just the perfect angel.
Our third anniversary. I don't think I could ask for a more wonderful one than increasing our size by one tiny pudding pop.
And thanks to Aunt Fair for letting mama and dada have a night out.
I love going in to get Laurie up in the morning. Mornings she sleeps in, I will peek in 5 to 10 times to see when she will make her appearance. Often, I am tempted to wake her, just so I can see that sweet smile and hear her coo and squirm in excitement (though I never succumb to that temptation). It must be nice to have such adoring fans.
