Giggle, Giggle

The sweet, innocent sound of a little one's giggle. There is nothing more precious. The wrinkling nose, the quickly grasped hands, the squinted eyes...it just melts your heart!
Daddy, by far, is our biggest form of entertainment. He is such a wonderful daddy! These are some things daddy plays:
Baby helicopter
Football carry
Chasing bunny rabbits
"Snugs" (snuggling)
Jumping off the couch and daddy catching
Funny sound effects and silly faces

Each of these fun activities are followed by a rewarding giggle and full out body excitement. It's the only reward and motivation daddy needs to continue on in the same pattern. Mommy gets so jealous that so much glee is aimed in daddy's direction, that she tries to join in, BUT, it just isn't the same. That father/daughter connection is just too strong in our house (I even heard daddy tell Princess Pretty that she had him wrapped around her precious little finger! ... it's true! I heard it!).
So, alas, mommy has settled for trying to capture these endearing moments on film. But the moment Mia sees the camera she just poses, enamored by what could be happening with that "small, shiny thing"... So, until I can be sneaky enough, you will have to settle for this:

Hi Erin

The sound of your baby giggling definitely is one of those heart melting moments.

Daddy sounds like so much fun coming up with all sorts of games to make Mia laugh.

My hubby is the same, he is like a big kid when he plays with Sav and Blake and it is just beautiful to watch and hear.

Precious photo of the adorable giggly Mia.

Congratulations on your weight loss. What a terrific achievement.

Lots of love
Elise

The daddy/daughter moments make my heart melt. I think I fall in love with both of mine when I see them together like that. It's just so special...
