Ok. I am the quintessential braggart mom. Go ahead. Say it. No, really. Go ahead. Say it out loud.
Lisa, your life revolves around your child.
I can take it. Really.
And while you’re rolling your eyes at me, I MUST must must ignore you and record the incredible “firsts of childhood” moment I just had. Now, I must remind you that I am a brand new mom. Never in my life have I shared home and hearth with a 22 inch immobile human that is still learning English. So each and every experience…each and every day…is new and exciting not only to Jack, but to me as well! 
So now…see…It’s 12:45 am, Monday night (or Tuesday morning…whatever you prefer). We are sitting here in our living room recliner working on the laptop. Jack-Evan is asleep on my lap – or well, he was. A few minutes ago he started his little smiling thing he does sometimes when he’s asleep…
Except…
This time, he started laughing! THEN, he woke himself up LAUGHING…looked at me…and started laughing even harder. It was the most unbelievably cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Well, unless you count little fluffy brown and black puppies. No, come to think of it, fluffy puppies didn’t even match up to the cuteness of that moment.
I myself started laughing (I couldn’t help it) which kept him laughin even harder. We were having a grand ol’ time! It was his very first laugh and it took me by complete surprise. What a wonderful moment. Of course I had to call my mom (and wake her..haha) to let her know the grand news of Jack’s first laugh. 
How in the world can a simple thing as a child’s first laugh, bring us to our knees in emotions?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE laughing with Ladybug! The first time she giggled in her sleep is etched in my memory. And now, just tickling her, laughing with her, those are the BEST times to keep me from goin’ crazy. The laughter makes everything worthwhile.

(jack’s sitting here smiling NOW too! He hasn’t laughed again today… I can’t wait til he does!)
