Can I Google ‘How to make your baby laugh?’

Just like adults, some babies laugh more than others. Isabel has always been, and still is, more of a serious baby. She observes everything, soaks it all in, and then, if you’re lucky, shows some emotion.

Early on, she was a tough nut to crack. She smiled a lot, but she didn’t laugh all that much.

But baby laughter is like ice cream. Once you hear it once, you want more, and can’t get enough until your stomach hurts (from laughing so much, that is). So we would do everything we could to make her laugh with varying levels of success – make up games, sounds, gestures, tricks, anything to hear that glorious sound.

Well, making Isabel laugh is easy now. In fact, she makes herself laugh doing the most ordinary things. But as was the case when we first heard it, I could listen to it for hours. And so can you!
