Laughing

Last week, Whitney caught a cold. She had a stuffy nose and had a rough time sleeping. But things started looking better this Tuesday when I took her to the doctor to make sure she didn't have an ear infection. We were in the clear. At the doctor's office, Whitney hit a milestone when she started laughing at the doctor. She had only laughed in her sleep before this first 'awake' laughter, and I was just waiting to hear that little giggle.

Then, today, November 14-

I put Whitney on her little activity mat. She has started getting into playing with her toys. I was showing her how one of them worked..
and then this happened...

I think it's pretty exciting to hear her giggle. Bart was happy I recorded it so he could see it when he got home. Now- I'm just waiting for her to laugh when I do my stand up comedy. With my hilarious jokes, I'm sure it won't be long.

Our Sweet Dolly...

I've always had a thing for squeezing things so tight. That may sound weird. But I just want to squeeze Whitney so tight.
Of course, I can't-- yet. She is still too fragile. Maybe by the time she is ready to head off to college she can handle a good, strong HUG from her Mommy dearest.

The other day, Bart and I took Whitney to run a bunch of errands. She was wearing her cute outfit from her Aunt Stephanie. She looked just darling and stylish. On the way home, she fell asleep in the car. When we took her inside, Bart took a peek at our little bundle... and then started laughing. Her little headband had fallen over her eyes.

Bart's Hair

The other night, after putting Whitney to bed, I was enjoying a relaxing evening lying in my bedroom watching some T.V.

All of a sudden, Bart came running into the room looking like this...




Hilarious. I was having flash-forwards to our lives in 30 years. My bald eagle of a husband coming home from a long day of filling cavities and pulling teeth.

I begged him to keep it like that for a full day. But he wanted to shave the rest. My cute hubby. He sure knows how to get me to laugh.

Halloween

Surprise, Surprise! This year for Halloween, Bart was a....

Soccer Player!
That's right!

Krista was her usual Witch.. no pun intended. Whitney was a Ghost.
Here's a picture of us at the ward Halloween Party.
