Laughter is the Best Medicine

Pardon the cliche title, but I'm acting in haste to get this up because it floored me and Jillian.

When Megan was at Grandma Boote's house, Grandma swears that she acidentally tripped and fell next to Megan who was on her play mat. This act elicited a string of giggles. Unfortunately, neither one of us heard it.

So fast forward a few weeks to today. Jillian was on the couch feeding Megan and I was, predictably, acting stupid. I started doing a stupid kung-fu move with my hands. After two of these she started going nuts. It was like Hannah Montana was in our living room, she was so pumped.

I quickly grabbed the camera so we could document this. Because I was 'actor' and 'videographer' I apologize in advance for the shaky camera while I pull of my kung-fu moves, but they were essential to the payoff: a laugh that warmed the heart of her parents.

So without further ado, here's what a Megan giggle sounds like.

Reminds me of your first laugh, Brian. It was over someone dropping a crumpled piece of paper to the floor; an equally strange impetus, but shows the apple does not fall (so to speak) from the tree. Indeed, I recall we did it over and over again to get the same effect you documented here--too funny!

Can't wait to hear it in person when we see you again.

And....I love her so much. That did it. Cannot wait to see you all. I will tell Dustin to brush up on his hop-kido skills.
