Giggling Guests - Oregon Trip part II

As nice of a time as I had at Grandma Coxs' house, I was ready to move onto my dad's house the next Monday. I was ready to get away from the wall of "death" (sharpest popcorn wall I've ever slept next to. I scraped myself three times!!) and to be on the ending portion of our journey.

Three day, four night stay at hotel Dede-Jeff, as Bill would say. It was nice, we celebrated my dad's big 5-0, watched a lot of Planet Earth, took a couple of walks down by the river. The first night we were there Miriam slept through the night as mentioned in this post. You always know it's just a fluke but can't help but hope maybe it will be repeated. Nope.

I forgot to mention - there were a few baby "firsts" on this journey. Miriam sat up without support for the first time at grandma Coxs'. A feat she is now repeating with ever increasing gusto. We gave her rice cereal for the first time. We had our first big giggle fest. I've been trying to figure out what she thinks is funny. This was apparently it. (See video below) Another not repeated event. At least Dede was there with a camera. If I can make a baby laugh I usually laugh until I cry myself. Don't worry, you can still hear her.

  3. Maggie, I don't know what is cuter...Miriam's first giggle or a first time mommy's reaction to her girl's first.
