Visiting the Nursing Home

This past weekend you, Daddy and I went up to Copperas Cove, TX in order to stay over night in a nursing home there. We needed to complete a 24 hour stay to be eligible for the special Medicaid program we are on, and it is the only one in Texas to accept babies.

We had a good time that night, just the three of us hanging out. It was nice to have nothing else to do but sit in a room and be together. Early in the evening you and I were cuddling on the bed, and you rolled in my direction. When you put your hand on my face, you started laughing. Daddy asked if you thought my face "looked" funny and you laughed even harder. That made Daddy and I laugh, which made you laugh, and for several seconds we were all laughing together at the same thing. It was our first family joke! It was the best Mother's Day gift you could have given me.

I love how you are beginning to laugh at more and more things. I don't think it will ever lose its effect on Daddy and me. Everytime you start to chuckle, we stop what we are doing and focus on getting you to do it again.
