Giggles!

Jayden and I were sitting on the floor today practicing sitting up and watching Jasmine (Jayden's #1 favorite pasttime right now is to watch Jasmine wherever she goes; #2 is being licked by Jasmine, which we try to limit if possible).  Jasmine started playing with her toy, shaking her head and making the toy shake.  Jayden started laughing like crazy.  He hasn't totally figured out how to laugh yet, so it's sort of the same noise he usually makes, but with his mouth wide open. 
Of course I didn't have my camera right next to me, so I missed the best giggles.  But I managed to grab it for the end, and above is what I got.  I held on to Jasmine's toy and played tug of war, which is why the camera is a little shaky.  Enjoy.

In other news, today is Friday!  Thank goodness.  It was actually a good week for me; really productive and busy.  Unfortunately Carmen managed to get sick last night/this morning, so he went to bed even before Jayden did!  I'm unwinding and relaxing for a minute and then I'll be in bed too.  What a life we lead! 

Jayden is sitting up so much better now; we still have to watch him closely, but soon we won't have to worry quite as much.  He reaches for everything.  And usually within half a second whatever he manages to grab he puts in his mouth.  Yesterday he was in his high chair after "dinner" and I gave him a toy.  He promptly grabbed the toy and threw it on the floor.  I picked it up and gave it back to him.  He threw it on the floor.  This went on probably for a good 5-10 minutes.  It's okay now.  It may get old eventually. 
We can also play more games with him: when he's in his high chair, I duck my head below the tray so he can't see me.  Then I pop my head back up with a big silly smile on my face.  That usually gets a smile out of him, if not a little laugh. 

As Jayden gets more mobile, we are definitely going to have to watch him and Jasmine.  Jasmine has not exactly figured out that she has to be careful and gentle around him:

This was in Carmen's lap, so it was controlled.  Although Jayden looks like he's in pain in the picture, he was actually getting a kick out of this.

And one more for good measure - when I sent in the news to my high school alumni magazine, not only did we get the announcement in the magazine, but we got a bib!  So we now have a Baby Blazer in the house too:

Luckily I was smart enough to take the picture before eating . . . afterwards it was covered in pureed squash and baby oatmeal.  Mmmm, yummy.
