*Crunch* and other noises that sound good..

I absolutely adore my son's laugh. Gee.. hmm.. that doesn't really sound terribly masculine. Uhm.. I am very proud of my son's boisterous and very manly (for a nine month old) laugh.

Well that doesn't sound realistic. I revert to my first option.

He has one of those laughs that is absolutely contagious. It's so ebullient in its unrestrained joy that I cannot begin to try and describe it for you. My son may not have many words, "Ma, Da, Ba, Dogk". But his laughter is one of the things I really look forward to at the end of the day.

Another noise that I've just heard recently is the "crunch" sound of him biting down on something. When you've only got one row of teeth, there isn't a satisfying crunch sound. Now that he has teeth on top and bottom, his cheerios crunch quite satisfactorily. It's a small joy, but one I greatly treasure.
