the day he laughed

since our baby boy smiled, daron's favorite pass time has been to play with him until he sees that gummy grin. a few days before Christmas he had Carter on his lap during the mid morning hours.

Carter was peering up at him...

then daron started patting his hands together, like he always does to get him to smile.

 (this patty cake thing that daron does is good.

it gets Carter to smile

every single time.

i have yet to find a trick to work that consistently!

daddy's touch i guess...)

 

^(that smile starts to form)

and gets bigger...

and then...

he giggled.

an open mouth laugh.

i was so caught off guard.

i gasped in shock

me- "did he just laugh!?"

daron- "he definitely did."

me- "really!?!?"

i heard the laugh, i just couldn't believe it.

i wasn't expecting a giggle to come so soon!

 

we still have yet to hear it again...

maybe, just maybe it will be his mama that makes him do it the 2nd time...

oh, how much we have to look forward to!
