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.

okay,
while i can't listen to it at work (as i have no speakers), here's an AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW anyway:
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also, there's a general acceptance of the idea that your kid knows your voice pretty well before she's born, which helps her figure out who to have an innate trust for before she can really see. and in the psych community, nursing is seen as possibly the only instinct humans have.
always glad for more pix, and you need a cell phone so that i can text you.
Isn't today Maunday
Isn't today Maunday Thursday? I seem to recall something about a certain someone coming to harass me today. I'd like to take you up on that offer to buy me a mobile phone plan.
FWIW, babies usually can't nurse immediately after being born. It takes roughly a day or two before they learn how to do it.
I second Helen's
I second Helen's AWWWWWWWWWWW, even though I can't hear it either. Not because I have no speakers, but rather because your gallery has been "restricted" by OCPS...probably because of all the "questionable material" you post in the form of pictures...geez Tim! ;-)
