A Baby’s Laugh: Jack Bein’ Funny (Video)

Who doesn’t like hearing a baby laugh?  Jack-Evan has begun laughing full force.  Smiling at him will get him to laugh.  Pootin’ on his belly will get him to laugh.  Tickling his cheek will get him to laugh.  But there is nothing that will get him to laugh as hard as eating is feet. 

And that’s what mommy does best, I guess. :)

…Because if you do, you’ll be suckered in to poking fun at yourself in the most inhuman way.

Why oh why do we find humor in the subtlest things?  What possesses us to throw down our household duties and take up the most mindless activities online?

Right now I’m going to blame it on a bad back.  I mean, it wouldn’t be wise to mop with a hurting spine, right??

Right??

Hrm.

Well, anywho.

There’s this site that I found a while ago called “Yearbook Yourself” (www.yearbookyourself.com).   The object is simple enough - just choose your gender, upload a forward facing photo of yourself, align your eyes and nose with the grid, and WHAM…. you are given a 50 year look into what your senior yearbook would have looked like every 2 years since 1950. 

Here I am in 1950!

….and here I am graduating in 1982.  POOF!

Ain’t I purdy?

So well.  If you’re reading this, it looks like you didn’t take my post title seriously.  And now I bet you’re about to go off (secretly, of course) and find out what you would have looked like in 1962.  Or perhaps 1974.  Or every year in between.

…Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Hey mommy!  Are you going to play with me?

100_2083 by you.

“Well, Jack,” says mom, “I think there’s someone you should meet first. 
Turn over and look behind you…”

100_2085 by you.

Whoa!  Who are you??

100_2089 by you.

Wait, what do you mean your name is Jack-Evan TOO???  How is that possible?

100_2084 by you.

Mommy, is that really possible?  I thought I was the only Jack-Evan.

100_2086 by you.

I dunno, maybe I’ll let you play with my stuff. 
Just don’t steal my mommy from me.

100_2090 by you.

Great!  Now gimme five!  Whoohoo!

Here we go!  We’re leaving for the beach.  Mommy says I’ll have fun.

100_2015 100_2022

After mommy dresses me, I play with my cousin Jeana for a while.
Then we head out to see this thing they call the ocean.

100_2024 100_2025

Mommy, why do I taste salt on my fingers?

100_2026 100_2027

Lil’ Robbie, do you taste salt??   …….I still taste salt.  Strange…

100_2033 100_2034

(Those big bunch of people are all my family)

100_2032 100_2047 

Mommy’s feet, Jack’s feet.  Mommy’s feet, Jack’s feet.  Mommy’s feet….

100_2036 100_2038

Mom, this salt is making me quite sleepy.

100_2030 100_2044

(Quickchanging at the beach.  Sand in my diaper doesn’t feel too good)

100_2039 100_2040

This wind feels soooo good.  Just let me sleep 5 more minutes mom!

100_2042 100_2050

Ok, well, maybe 50 more minutes.

100_2057 100_2058

After cruisin’ the boardwalk in my stroller, we came back to the hotel.

100_2072 100_2073

Why am I the only one strapped in a car seat???  Robbie, let me out…please…
I want to head back to the beach.

100_2061 by you.

Whew.  Sleeping at the beach is the best thing in the world.

Maybe next time I’ll stay awake long enough to play
on the boogie board mom & dad bought for me!
