The sense of humor starts early

Some things we are just born with such as a sense of humor. True, it can be enlarged if you work on it, but the basic sense has to be there. Having said that, Riley definitely has a sense of humor (even if Mom doesn't totally appreciate it all the time.)

Today, after having rocked Riley to sleep (she was limp as a rag in my arms), I go to lay her down only to find out she was playing possum. How did I know this you ask? Cuz when I tried to lay her down, her eyes popped open, she waved her arms Riley fashion (you have to know her to understand this), and she giggled, yes giggled. She found it quite humorous. Mom, though understanding the humor, was not quite so appreciative.

Yesterday, she laughed so hard she snorted which gave her pause, but then made her laugh even harder. That was hilarious. Got both me and Sam laughing with her.

Speaking of Sam, she has her own winning ways. She is such the flirt and rather demanding. Today when I got home from the boring class I have to take for work (BLS - Basic Life Saving), Sammi's face lit up, she smiled the biggest smile you've ever seen, and did a full bodied happy dance, then started in with the repetitive Mama, Mama, Mama until I picked her up. As Andrea can attest (from her visit last night) Sammi will fuss/whine what have you until you pick her up, if you put her down (which entails any part of her body barely coming in contact with the floor) the fussing mantra starts. It's quite funny to witness. Sammi fusses, Andrea picks Sammi up, fussing stops, smiling and flirting commense, Andrea allows Sammi's toes to touch the ground, fussing recommenses, toes 1" off the ground, flirting, toes on ground, fussing. This was repeated 4 or 5 times just for effect.
