The One About Laughter

Alyssa has been pretty fussy lately. It's frustrating on some days. Yesterday evening was particularly rough. I sat in the rocking chair for 20 minutes w/ her just screaming. She didn't want to nurse, she didn't want to snuggle, she didn't want to suck, she just wanted to scream. After about 20 minutes James (6) came over and started talking to her. She stopped screaming. So then we both kept talking to her and she started smiling. We continued talking to her and playing with her and she laughed!!! Not just a little gigle, but real baby laughs! Over and over! IT was so cute and definitely made up for the fussiness....

I need a video. Immediately. Hop to it. I know you're not REALLY that busy.

Just kidding :P (Not about the video, though. That sounds SO sweet.)
