Learning to Breathe

One of the things that's continued to amaze me as I've watched Sara Ellen grow is the number of things she has to learn along the way. For instance, she's started laughing just within the last two weeks. It seems like the only things she knew how to do when she was born were breathe, fill her diaper, and cry. Within the first couple of days, she learned to breastfeed. She had to learn our smell, the sound of our voices, and the way we look. Soon, she learned to smile, bat at objects, and suck her fists. Lately, she's been opening up her fists, attempting to roll, and laugh.

There's nothing quite like a baby's laugh. There's this magical quality to it that can instantly brighten even the dullist day. And thanks to the wonders of technology, you can listen to and watch Sara Ellen's very first laugh to see exactly what I mean. Enjoy.
