Baby laughter, music to our ears.

We had a busy Sunday with visits from lots of friends. It's not easy trying to keep your social life going while trying to keep Maya safe from the terrible flu germs out there in the big dangerous world. It's funny how you turn into exactly the type of parent that you previously were snickering at for taking billions of pictures of their little baby, for squirting antibacterial cream in your hands before even entering their home and for thinking their baby is the most wondrous little thing in the world (they are all the same to you). We can now proudly admit that we are exactly like that, overprotective germ freaks with obsessive photography ambitions that think Maya is the cutest most wonderful miracle this world has seen. And I truly mean that, without even a hint of sarcasm.

But I digress again...as I said, it was great to see our friends and I'll follow up with some pictures of Maya with her little friend Nuria.

On to the topic of the day, laughter. Maya laughed for the first time yesterday!! It's not yet a full on screaming baby laughter but definitely a laughter. She thinks daddy is really funny and I better take advantage of it while it lasts. Without further ado, the video:

Wonderful to see & hear Maya laughing like that! =)) But I think you´ll have to vary your jokes a bit... =P She didn´t get tired, she just thought you were getting boring... ;o)

Lots of love

Yes, I watched and listened to your three laughing...
Oh, no, four laughters! I couldn't help my laughing too!

Xinran,

Laughing is the best medicine. :)

We look forward to seeing you in another few weeks. Meanwhile, please stay warm and dry in London!

How cute can you get (talking about Maya). Wow, just didn't think Mattias could get more silly..... guess I was wrong.
Otherwise I agree with Malin.

The big question; What is the meaning of life; is just not difficult to answer when you hear that baby laughter. It makes it all worth it.

Give her a big germfree hug from me.
