He is beautiful. There is no greater sound in the world than a baby laughing

It does, indeed.

Thank you. I needed a baby laugh today.

And you've got to kick at it; it's worth having.

He's lovely, and thank you.

there is absolutely no sound as perfectly glorious as a baby's laugh. it is so uplifting and he is beyond adorable!

Doesn't that make it all worth it?

My 18-month old is starting to test his wings (and my patience), but his baby giggles and night-night snuggles melt all my resolve.

Thanks for that, Kate. Made. My. Day.

I was having a blue day. But this cheered me up. Thanks for sharing.

A line from one of my fave songs:) Sorta! You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight:) Cute vid! Such a huge smile and such amazing giggles!

Absolutely the best sound in the world.

Thank you, Kate. Best sound ever.

That was heaven!

OMG, that was SO Necessary, Kate. Baby laughs are the cure for EVERYTHING. (He's perfect as can be :)).

His sweet little giggle sounds like a party horn! Love it!

What a chortler!

Beautiful... beautiful.

There's a lovely song titled "Greener" by Wideawake (small band from Austin) and a line in the song says, "I'm kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight."

Love those baby giggles! Just what I needed at this point of my day.

Beautiful! Cheeky this, but if you want a bit more baby laughter feel free to enjoy my son here...

Sweetest.Sound.EVAH!

That is a magnificent laugh. Truly magnificent.

I so needed that today. There's hardly a better sound in the world :)

ah indeed it does, friend.

beautiful title. beautiful boy. i am smiling bigger than i have all day.

yes, yes it does.I used to tickle Monkey for the belly laughs just like that. She still asks for it once in a while.

That, that makes all the other baby mess worthwhile, no?

I love that! Is there anything quite as infectious as a child's laugh?

Wow, THANK you. What a lovely giggle-/slash/-chortle your Ben has. I'm enlivened.

Thank you for sharing Ben's sweetness and happiness. It was the perfect way to start this day.Blessings.

Just look and listen to the utter perfection that is that baby boy. Oh, my. Thank you for sharing. What a fabulous way to start the day.

Sheer delight! Ok so if we could have one of these videos posted daily, dear Kate, I'm sure the world would be a better place. Does anyone have Bush's e-mail??

Absolutely beautiful.

oh giggles. Ros has the BEST laugh too.

He is SO charming and sweet. Love that laugh.

you know, after seeing all those awesome pictures of his expressive face I wasn't surprised that he was such a great giggler.

He's the fuckin coolest (yeah I had to swear)

Too sweet. Ahh...bliss!

That is something else! What a sound! What an incredible laugh and smile that boy has. Pure joy and love.I absolutely love your writing. I've been here before, and I watched you go through Liam's birth adn death. You see, I was due the same time as you, and clutched protectively to the baby still growing in my belly. I didn't reach for popcorn or shut the laptop or walk away. I cried. I felt. and I thank you for sharing this, though I know how strange it must be. I'm just a stranger, but I'm touched by you, and my daughter is the same chronological age as Ben is gestational. There is camaraderie in that.I also particularly loved your post on God and the spirit. I'm think I'm parked in exactly the same camp as you. I've never worded it so well and accurately, but I felt like printing that out and sharing it with those who ask my beliefs.I've also lost children, though my babies died much earlier than yours, while still in the womb. I know the loss isn't the same and the pain much different, but I do refuse to believe that they were just dividing cells, that they've left nothing behind. I can see their spirits behind their sister's eyes.

That's the sweetest sound I heard today.

That is absolute pure joy. Thank you so much for sharing!

Woohoo! I love it!

aww, thanks Becca. Spirits in sister-eyes... that's lovely.

Becca, yes. I couldn't agree more with you and Kate. "Spirits in sister-eyes" mmmm...so strong.

kate, this video is seriously over-the-edge DELICIOUS!i watched it over and over. his laugh is almost unreal - i think some of liam's laughter is intermingled there.xoxo

Hee Hee! Delightful! Nothing makes me happier than when I make my little boy laugh.

impossible to watch without a huge, sh*t-eating grin on my face!!! i love the gurgle.

What a wonderful sound that is. Just Fabulous!

Oh the goofy grin on my face. Thank you for sharing your slice of radiant light.

Oh my goodness! That is the best sound evaaaah.

His laugh sounds like one of those party horns with the rolled-up paper on the end. Brilliant!

He is definitely a lover and these are definitely dangerous times.

*KISSES* for that sweet, sweet lil' man.

My 2-year-old daughter threw her head back and laughed loudly at this, and so did I. Adorable beyond belief.
