He Laughs Like a Human.

The other day I was doing something around the house when I heard through the baby monitor that Jack Henry was awake.  Since I couldn’t get to him right away, I asked Harrison to please go entertain him for a few minutes.  It wasn’t long before I heard peals of laughter coming from this tiny person.  When I went up to see what was causing all the hilarity, Harrison informed me that Jack Henry now laughs like a human.

According to Harrison, laughing like a human involves more than polite chuckles or simple “huh-huh”‘s that his baby brother usually demonstrates.  It is more maniacal, more out-of-control.  It takes your whole face to pull it off.  Drool is optional.

Yesterday I was holding Jack Henry, and I thought I’d try my hand at making him “laugh like a human.”  I pulled it off.  (Jack Henry is very ticklish.)  However, I found that taking photos one-handed of a convulsing, chuckling six month-old is difficult.

You get a lot of blur.

And eventually you have to give up because your baby is not laughing anymore and trying to grab your camera.

So, my question is do you just laugh, or do you LAUGH LIKE YOU’RE A HUMAN?  I figure if you’re going to do it, you might as well go all out….

…even if it makes you blurry.
