Silliness

Madelyn has discovered a new talent - making me laugh. It happens while I'm rocking her to sleep. I like singing her lullabies while rocking her before I put her down. While I am singing, she looks up at me and starts touching my face. She will touch my nose and then squeeze it like she is "honking" a clown's nose. I can usually hold my giggles at this point. Then she grabs my lower lip and pulls it down. And that is when I usually start laughing. I try so hard not to laugh because I know that will only delay her sleepiness. But I'm sorry - trying to sing while a 1 year old's chubby little fingers are holding your lower lip is just about the funniest thing I have encountered. I start laughing and then she starts laughing with this triumphant look on her face. I wish I could get a video of it because it is actually a really sweet moment - even if she is doing it to delay going to sleep.
