Torin has been slowly developing his laughter skills for weeks. He started with an uncertain, punctuated, and rather literal "Haha." It was so uncertain and literal that I wasn't sure I should actually quantify it as a laugh, but it's evolved into something much closer to the real thing. I heard his best laugh ever last night, full of genuine amusement and glee ... not in person, but over the baby monitor. Go figure that Dad would get the first laugh! Apparently "eight" is very funny when you're 10 weeks old. If I thought "eight" was funny at that age, I don't remember.
Over the weekend, The Scoot added counting to Torin's entertainment repertoire. I'd heard him counting for Torin earlier in the day, but apparently the hilarity of the number didn't hit our babe until his evening change (or perhaps I should say one of several evening changes?). The Scoot counted aloud as he re-snapped each of the snaps on the PJ's and as he got to the eighth and final snap Torin emitted a definite peal of laughter. Torin continued to laugh each time one of us said "eight" for several minutes. He only smiled at seven and nine, but EIGHT is the FUNNIEST number!
Torito is soooo funny! Eight! Of all words! Cecily's was "apple juice" she would laugh so hard. Thus the nickname, Cecily Juice.
