He Laughs!

My baby FINALLY laughed and giggled! And it was the cutest thing ever!

We figured out about two weeks ago that Murphy was a little ticklish. I tickled his thighs and he let out a short little laugh. He wouldn't do it again. About a week later, the same thing by his neck and arms.

Tonight I was singing silly songs about cooperation to him while I changed his diaper. I got another little one out of him but no more so I decided to try tickling him. He let out a lot of really cute giggles! It was so precious!

I had some milestones written on ColorNotes on my phone and that I was super smart and uninstalled the app.  I'm going to try to remember them...

I think his first official smile was on August 13th.  A closed mouth, little smile.

On August 6th, he held his head up for a good 5 minutes and looked around.  He also rolled from his belly to his back for the first time.  It wasn't until a couple days later that he was rolling over consistently.

August 21st, I almost caught a full, mouth open smile.

Mid August, Murphy started to be a lot more alert and chatty.  He is constantly cooing and talking to us.  He is so purposeful about his talking, it is very heart warming.
