that laugh...

Today while I was running in circles around Elle's room trying to make her laugh, I stopped and laughed at myself. 

Isn't funny what you do to make a baby laugh?

These days she loves my extremely animated version of the itsy bitsy spider.  I've been singing that to her since we brought her home from the hospital and it's amazing how many different ways you can keep the song interesting.  I used to sing it so gently and now I'm practically screaming the lyrics out waving my arms around.  She loves when I pretend that I'm a ballerina... yes I twirl around the room and throw my arms and legs in every direction imaginable and she laughs hysterically.  I've also become quite good at peek-a-boo and I've discovered you don't actually need to hide your whole face behind a big object.  I show her my teeth randomly... yes its weird but she's so fascinated by them.  She also loves when I creep up to her saying, "IIII'mmmm gooooinnnnggg tooooooooooooooooooo getcha getcha getcha".

And no matter how strange I look to someone else, I will continue to make her laugh as long as she lets me.  Her whole face lights up and her innocence melts my heart.  I will do anything and everything for her.
