I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

The very obscure secret of making an itsy-bitsy baby girl giggle

We have tried many times to get Squiggles to laugh by tickling her, talking in funny voices, tossing her gently in the air, and making faces at her... but no laughs - talk about a tough crowd!

This afternoon we played "War" in Nana's backyard with Tim's nephews. Who knew all I had to do was pretend to explode a little boy with a hand grenade to make my baby girl giggle for the first time?



Should I be concerned?

Grandpa Dave: Probably no more concerned than Cami should be when Ivy giggles like that everytime I spit.

It's like when dad makes his grand-kids giggle by pretending they take him out while they're swinging. Something is just so terribly funny about fake violence.
