First Laugh

Ellie has been flashing her irresistible toothless grin for weeks now. Often she seems right on the verge of a good belly laugh, but doesn’t quite let it loose. We’ve (ok, mostly I’ve) been putting on our funniest faces and acting out our most ridiculous antics to no avail. The most I get for hopping around on one foot with my tongue lolling out and blowing raspberries is a crooked little grin. Alas. Until tonight!! We’ve mentioned before that Ellie really enjoys bath time. She still (barely) fits in the bathroom sink so she usually gets a quick scrub down while she enjoys splashing about and eating bubbles in her small sudsy pool. Tonight I thought she might enjoy a more extended time in the big bath. Boy, was I right! She was lounging in her bath seat and having a grand time paddling her feet when I started squirting her with one of her bath toys. Click on the picture to see the result.
