Joseph Laughing

When John was about six months old, we recorded a "laughing video" of him (which, strangely, is now a dead link on our blog). We had just one child, so the video shows a cherubic baby sitting alone at the kitchen table, me off screen, silently encouraging him to laugh. It's very quiet, calm, and delightful.



But now we have four children.

So, this laughing video of Joseph (7 months) has Mary (4) clanging a fork repeatedly and screaming to get him to laugh, Margaret (2) wandering in wailing about the latest injury, and then John (6) joined in the noise, and he and Mary broke into a fight as soon as the camera stopped filming. It's often a cacophony around here!
