Last week we got our first proper giggles, he’s been gurgling type giggles and squeals of joy but there was no doubting these were giggles.
As soon as he started I wanted to join in, baby giggles are my favourite sound. No matter how rubbish or miserable I am feeling, baby giggles are guaranteed to put a smile back on my face.
We’d been out, where escapes me but when we returned I left R asleep in his car seat. The second he woke up J grabbed a toy and pounced, jumping up and down and waving the toy around resulting in the cutest giggles from R.
I managed to capture a small video...what did we ever do before mobile phones with cameras?
I wish the sound could be bottled to open whenever I need a pick me up. Sorry the video is the wrong way up!

Proud Mummy Moments..
I love proud Mummy moments! They make me feel like I'm doing something right and amazed at my little boy.
He's 16 and a half months now, and even though he's not talking he's able to understand really well. I did stress for a while that he's not talking yet after listening to my mum and sister go on about it endlessly but after talking to a few other people I realised there is nothing wrong with him.
He follows simple instructions really well. "Go find your shoes." "Go to your highchair." "find mummy your drink." he can find most things we ask for. I do it all the time with his toys to see if he can pick out the correct one and more and more often he can now.
He's started to answer us to now. He nods and shakes his head. Yes doesn't sound like yes but we know what he means and when he accompanies it with a nod of the head it's even more obvious. "do you want a bath!" is always followed with a yes and then him racing to the bathroom and throwing his toys in ready.
This morning we were lying in bed having snuggles and I asked if he wanted breakfast, he said yes and so I said "off you go then" and he jumped down off the bed and toddled away. Sooo clever.
The incident that made me want to write this post though was him being able to point out a giraffe. We had to invest in a new changing mat and the one we bought has animals on. I was trying to get Joshua to come get changed so asked him where the bird was... Which he pointed out. Followed by a monkey, elephant and then the girafe. I was so proud if not a little baffled where he'd learnt girafe but then realised it must be from the amazing book 'dear zoo' (thanks rachel - we do love it)
Every day he seems to be picking up things, tell him once and he seems to remember. Gonna have to start being careful or else one day he'll decide to talk and say 'shit!' or something.
So far we have:
Mumma
Dada
Gone
No
Yes
And something that sounds like GO but he uses alot so we're not sure what he's trying to tell us.
