I remember when I had Patrick, the first couple of months were quite difficult. It was hard having to feed him every three hours, day and night, and since he was a little premature, he needed extra attention and love. There were times when it seemed like it was a more of a chore than a joy to have a baby, and there were times when I seriously wondered why we even wanted one in the first place! But then he began to smile. And not long after that, he laughed for the first time. And it was the most wonderful little sound that I ever heard.

Well, today I was tickling Sammy on his tummy and he was smiling really big. He began to coo, and suddenly it broke out into a little laugh. It was so cute. After getting very little sleep last night, it was exactly what I needed to give me the energy to get through today. I really wish I could have recorded it. A baby’s first laugh is so special and something that I will never forget, for either of my sweet little boys.
