Tears and laughter

Ok, I know I'm going against my word and getting really mushy, sacharine and boring - just like a mom, but I'm in a mood lately so just deal with it.  Solomon laughed for the first time yesterday and it was so unexpected and such a lovely sweet sound, well, I just don't know what else to say.  He was watching Cai playing in a little swimming pool in our friend's front yard and it just bubbled up.  Two little belly laughs.  He's still such a lump of baby and it's so crazy to imagine that soon he will be this running, giggling, talking little thing who will scream and shout just like his brother does now.  "Mama, check me out!"  I will have to remember to teach him what Cai and I have been rehearsing for the past couple of days: "Mama is perfect."  He says it in such a sweet and sincere way and I laugh every time so he thinks it's some sort of comedy routine.  The best part is how each time his father's head drops to his chest in defeat.  :)
