Hilarious

"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. " -W. H. Auden


My daughter is the funniest baby I have ever known.  Here is my morning so far:


After waking up and getting dressed, we were playing on the floor.  She squatted down on one of her silicone squeaky blocks and started bouncing.  And I could not stop laughing at her.  Wiping tears away, I ask her "Do you have a squeaky butt?" and she looks at me, solemn as Lincoln, and bounces up and down some more.  I was dying.


Not five minutes later, I see her squatted over her Mr. Vader doll who talks.  She's pulling his cape over his eyes, pulling it off again, and smiling behind her pacifier.  She's playing peek-a-boo with the Dark Lord.  It's too much!  So I start saying, "Where's Mr. Vader? There he is!" which just makes her smile bigger.

Last but not least, she tried to carry her huge stuffed dog over to me, which is bigger than she is.  Mom was back to the giggles.


It's good that she's so entertaining because it's already been a rough morning - she has some really uncomfortable teeth coming through, and I didn't sleep as much as I'd like.  She's woken up from her nap twice already, and she's been down for half an hour.  But at least we're having some great laughs.

Here we come!
