Nothing is quite as infectiously happy as watching or hearing a baby laugh. Seriously, I don’t know of anyone who can see a little baby’s smile, hear a happy toddler giggle or tickle a baby to make her laugh who doesn’t end up smiling or laughing themselves. Children help to remind us of our own happy childhoods and their laughter and adorable toothy or toothless smiles make us smile too.

They say that a mother knows her children by their cry, but I would have to say that I know my children by their laughter as well. It’s the sound that I definitely prefer over crying and it makes me feel like I might be doing a good job of being a mommy if my kids can go around the house laughing all day.

My twenty month old little boy earned himself the nickname Cheez-it a few months ago when he learned to put on a special face for the camera or anytime we asked him to smile. It is such a hilarious grin and he gets so excited and happy when we laugh at it that he does it even more. Now we can be sitting around the dinner table and we will look over at him to find him grinning us down, just wanting us to see how happy he is and make us smile too. It makes cleaning up after him a whole lot easier (as he’s also known as the messiest eater on the block!)

I am sure that every parent prefers laughter to crying, and I’m also sure that all of us have memories of our babies first smile that will never leave our minds. Check out some of these cute babies caught on tape laughing and giggling out of pure joy. I bet it will brighten your day! Let me know with a comment.
