Secret World of Babies...and what they find funny

I guess I was super naive right before I had a baby. I thought having a baby would be like being pregnant; it changes your life and every aspect of it, but you can still get around and do almost everything you are used to doing.

Babies are NOT like that. My friend Liz babysat Sam on BYU campus a week-ish ago and said, "Wow, having a baby around is so different. You have to think about which doors you are going to use and...how do you use the bathroom when you have a baby?!"

Babies don't just affect what you do all the time...they change how you do it or determine whether you'll be able to do it at all. I personally think that they do it on purpose.

Consider: The Hook
In many babies, the hook will look different, but in all babies it is the same. The hook is an action or look that will draw you in. It is a moment that happens every so often that will make you forget everything negative and renew your complete and utter devotion to whatever they want whenever they want it.

Oh they are adorable alright, but I look at Sam and think: He totally knows how to control us.

Sam's Hook: The laugh

It took quite a few months to perfect and hone in on his skills of manipulation, but every minute was worth it, because his laugh brings us so much joy that I'm pretty sure our devotion is secured throughout all eternity.

I give you....the laugh of Sam:


We still aren't sure what exactly was so hilarious to Sam, but the facts are these:
-He was REALLY tired
-His Dad is always funny to him
-The Lion has never done that before
-It was a noise he had never heard before
(-Before I had started recording, Sam had already been laughing for five minutes)

All I really know is that this will be my 'bad day' video from now on because I can't help but laughing every time I see it. Well done Sam, mission accomplished.
