It’s the Dawsons!

So we’ve gone on and on about how happy our baby is, but we’ve only heard Elliott truly laugh a few times.  When she does, it is usually for just a second or two.  That all changed last night.  I picked her up before bath time and pulled off her socks.  Without really thinking about it, and because having a baby makes you do silly things, I put her socks to my nose and exclaimed, “P-U!” like her socks were stinky.

Elly lost it.  She started laughing like a mad woman.  Total hysterical laughter.  I recoiled from the stinky socks and did the “P-U” bit again - more laughter.  Molly and Brett are in town and were in disbelief.  Kari was in the bedroom and came running in to witness it.  She then grabbed the video camera to capture some of the laughter. 

Enjoy.

So our little girl is motoring all over the house.  She’s still scooting, but will get up on her hands and knees in the traditional crawling position and is thinking about doing it the right way.  I’m sure one day it’ll just click.  For your viewing pleasure, check out another video of Ms. Elliott going up and down the hallway from the carpet’s point of view .
