Today Isaac and I turned 5 months. Or to be precise, this turbulent whirlwind relationship called 'Parenting' turned 5 months. I haven't had 6 continuous hours of sleep for 5 months. I haven't read a book for 5 months. It's been tiring to say the least.
Often as I have sat half-asleep in my rocking chair at 3am nursing my baby, I have thought of those picture perfect moments you see in a J&J baby soap commercial and wondered why the 'joy' of parenting eludes me?
But today it happened. Isaac laughed for the first time. Not just smile or gurgle... but LAUGH. And it was the sweetest sound that I have EVER heard.
Our nanny was pureeing his dinner and that's when we heard it. Just like that!
I managed to capture some of it on video after we figured it was the blender that amused him.
Isaac choosing to laugh today (of all days) was such a riot! It melted away all the exhaustion of the past 5 months.
My husband and I chose 'Isaac' because it's derived from 'Yitzchak', a Hebrew name meaning "he laughs". Isaac is going to live up to his name and I am so looking forward to it.
