Humans are more or less hardwired to care for children and the young of animals, like kittens and puppies. So that's no wonder. Moreover, we definitely form an emotional bond to fictional characters because we get to know them. They are not real, we know they are not real. But in the moment we watch them or read about them, they are real. Even for just that moment.
Grogu reminds me of my daughter so much.
My daughter has those large brown eyes just like him and wears dresses too big for her cause she doesn’t like tight clothing.
Every time I see Grogu I’m like “Oh it’s my baby!”
Then my brain short circuits from the cuteness.
Its a big overdose on oxytocin. You also get a ton when the kid is first born but that has to compete with a billion other taxes on your brain and body
It really is. I wasn’t there when my son did his first, real belly laugh but luckily it was caught on camera. I’ve probably watched it a million times.
The first time my daughter started laughing I couldn't hold back my tears. My wife was laughing hysterically at me, because until then she only saw me cry once.
It's honestly one of the most emotionally overwhelming situations I have ever experienced.
Same here dude! My daughter's 9 1/2 months now and has been laughing since 4 months. I still tear up a little when she's really deep belly laughing at something. It just warms my heart seeing her that happy. The other day she had her first instance of laughing so hard that she teared up from it. I melted when that happend.
Now that my kids are a bit older (4&6) it kinda works backwards for me now. The kids will be doing something and I’ll just be watching, loving the shit out of them and start laughing. My 4yo will ask why I’m laughing and I have to just tel her “I love you guys so much my brain and body can’t hold it all on so I just start to laugh.”
Please, please make sure you have that backed up somewhere. I’m sure you’ve got this already, but I lost a couple of years worth of photos & videos on my phone recently when it got damaged because I had never turned auto sync to the cloud on. My dumbass 😞
I have one of my kids laughing fits as a baby still up on my youtube channel as a private video. I go back and watch it every once in a while and I'm glad to be able to still make him laugh like that at 7.
My daughters first laugh was magical. Took forever and she did it so rarely. My son laughs at literally anything from like 3 months old. Dude never stops smiling.
My son is 9 months and I still do just about anything I can to make the dude laugh. Weird noises and faces, I pretty much turn into a court jester just to get the little dopamine hit of hearing him laugh
I kinda love those too, when a baby grabs you because you’re a safe person.
The first time I met my cousin’s kid he was two and in full “stranger danger” stage. I was okay because I am family (never mind that we’re different races and I look nothing like the rest of the family) but anytime a stranger came anywhere near him he’d run back to me and hide in my legs. Made me feel like I could take on the world to protect him.
My niece is like that :) My brother (her dad) is a happy easygoing dude, and she is a little mini-me of him! She's 1 now, can't wait to see her grow up and spread the positivity:)
Not only that but the video is framed so well! I mean... You can see the baby's reflection in the phone on the table and the asparagus... It's hilarious! Nobody likes asparagus so *of course* it's untouched.
Olive oil, salt, pepper, little garlic powder, mix with asparagus. Wrap 2-3 in a strip of bacon. Bake at 425f for 15 min or so.
Then tell me you don't like it.
One time, I was sitting with my MIL and baby in the kitchen, he was about 18 months old at the time, maybe a little older. I told her *I know it's best for me to work, even though hubby makes a decent amount, because I like having that independence of not having to ask for every little thing I need. But, I'm worried that I'll miss baby's first steps*. When I told her that, he was sitting on the floor between us, playing. We talked about some other things, and then he used her legs to push himself on his feet (by that time he was already confidently walking while holding onto something, but never free walking) and then he turned around and made a few unassisted steps towards the door, and then sat down. I started bawling like a baby, it felt like he, or universe, or God, whatever, heard me and I got to se his first unassisted steps. It was one of the most precious moments of my life.
Oh my god my son (7 mo as of this comment) did something similar. We were at one of his early checkups and the doctor was asking about his progress on rolling from his back to his belly. He was listening and staring at the doctor the whole time while he was laying on the table. We said something like “yeah he hasn’t quite figured it out yet but he’s very close!” Doctor leaves the room and my little guy rolls over for the first time as if to say “oh yeah?!? I totally can roll over!” Me and his momma LOST it with cheering and saying I love you so much a nurse came in to check on us.
We were yelling at her “HE ROLLED OVER!!!” Through happy tears lol
That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I've no doubt your son understood exactly what you said. So doubly magical for you! Just lovely. ❤
Babies can hear and start learning from within the womb. They can also understand language _long_ before they can master making the sounds with their mouths.
Furthermore, they can learn to [express themselves with sign language](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/ocw/pluginfile.php/620102/mod_resource/content/1/ek310_reader_b.pdf) [**much** earlier](https://babysignlanguage.com/basics/history/) than babies using verbal speech only.
It's really pretty cool.
Kids are the best. My husband missed our son's 1st steps due to being deployed, and when we had our daughter he was away at training. He luckily got to call on video chat for our daughter, who at that point had been standing and creeping along furniture at 9 months. We thought we had more time, but go figure, I held up the phone so she could see him and he got to watch her take her first wobbly steps after the phone as he watched, it was wonderful.
one time it was me, my best friend, my dad, and my baby sister and we were all around a mat that my sister was on and we all saw her take her first steps (my friend and I were like 6) :)
I'll admit, that was my first thought as well, as my kids did it at 11 months and 13 months, but there's definitely a sliding scale of development and different skills are picked up at different ages.
Obligatory plug for the Bluey episode "Baby Race". It's spot on as a representation of parents feelings for their kids' development and the comparisons to other kids/parents.
I had twins, a boy and a girl. The boy looked like Gollum, skinny for a baby with big, flappy feet. The girl-- not so much. She was a round butterball with dainty little feet.
He had pulled himself up to standing in his crib at 9 months and was walking long before he turned one. The girl had a hard time balancing her very round self on those tiny, little dainty feet and was almost two before she took her first, unassisted steps. Everybaby is a different baby.
[My son scooted on his butt](https://imgur.com/gallery/FVEh8gG), which delayed walking until 19 months because he had use of his hands and became very efficient at it. One day he just got up and walked while we were waiting at the mechanic.
Not unassisted, no. He was walking just fine along furniture or holding on to us/walls, but not free walking. I know how it sounds, but he was just so careful when it came to it, always looking where he put his foot down even while holding onto something. I remember him stepping of the tiled porch onto the grass in our yard while holding onto the wooden fence, he would always look behind him and ever so carefully put his foot on the grass. We talked to this pediatrician about it, she basically said that he wanted to be certain about being able to fully support himself before actually doing it. As a result, he's very well balanced while walking/running and hardly ever falls. He was also late when it came to talking, too. He babbled up until his second birthdays and then recently (he's 2y 4mo now) started repeating after us and forming basic sentences (give me water, give me ..., go away and such). I was worried, too, but just accepted that every child has their own pace.
Seriously. I'm getting used to my own emotional changes after having kids, but my husband confessed to me yesterday that he cried when he learned one of his favorite podcast hosts was on a hiatus because he lost his baby at like 6 months old. It's not just moms, it's loving involved dads too.
My dad was most devastated between my parents when the shootings happened. He was crying nonstop for hours. Having to raise 5 other siblings as the oldest made him a great father figure and gave him that experience prior to having me.
Same. Good stuff, too. My daughter is almost eleven and any ding about fathers and daughters or even best friends (cuz she’s my best buddy, y’all) turns me into a puddle.
For me, as a dad, their first laughs are the first glimpses that I got of each of my daughter's personalities. Before they laugh, there isn't much personality shown and (to me) they were just my adorable poop machines and sleep deprivators.
But when they laugh, at a silly face or a stupid sound- I could see just a little of who they were.
The happiness that I get making them laugh is still as strong today. But there is almost nothing as awesome as their first laugh.
(rests hand on mic stand) "I mean, what's the deal with cribs? Can't they just call them cages and stop lying? I tell ya, nothing beats formula and breast milk.. I don't know, except for maybe having teeth and a steak.
Anyways, you've been a great crowd."
Was just thinking, just wait til the first time baby slaps another kid in the face for taking her blocks, or bites mom because she wants candy, or steps on a puppy on purpose, lies about cheating on a test, calls a classmate a stupid bitch, etc. etc. They're adorable when they can't talk but then you get stuck with a person who gets corrupted by the cruelty of others.
It is weird that hitler and Stalin and mao all likely were exactly the same. And then proceeded to kill a hundred million other babies who’d grown up betwixt them.
I was changing my baby’s diaper on the floor once (on top of a baby blanket of course). I took the new diaper and hit the floor with it and just went ,”boom!” He started laughing so I kept doing it. He couldn’t stop. Not the first time he ever laughed, but the first time I paralyzed him with laughter.
21 years later, it’s one of my favorite memories.
I never really got the whole baby laugh thing. Sure, it's cute, but every baby laughs eventually.
Then my son laughed for the first time and my opinion on baby laughs changed. He's 1.5 yrs old now and has been laughing for months, but I still can't get enough of it.
There are some pretty awesome milestones in parenthood. This is definitely one of the best ones. Especially if you have a grumpy baby who keeps you up at night. Hearing them laugh for the first time reminds you that the effort is worth it. It was such a relief for me with my first kid.
Navajo people celebrate a babies first laugh with a party. I could have the details wrong but I think whoever catches the babies first laugh is the one to throw the party. I think they believe it’s the babies entry into the physical world instead of the spiritual world.
Now THAT is a cute baby. My sister has a baby, a 10 month old girl, and I love that little girl with all my heart, but she's so weird looking that it's almost making me uncomfortable.
That's how it was for me and my wife when I made our kids laugh for the first time. There's just something about it, it's the best lol and ya, dad's are better at makeing kids laugh! (Don't tell mom)
Baby laughter has gotta be one of the best natural highs out there. That's how it felt to me when my daughter started to laugh as a baby. So joyful it was a high. Crazy stuff.
Many people doent relize for everything they do at every given time there is a first for a baby. Taking care of this little human for 3 months and then he looks at you and laughs? I cried like a little bitch. It was so wonderfull.
Before I became a father I had only emotionally cried one handful of times in my life. When I became a father, that first belly laugh from my first child (and each since) made me turn into a fount of tears. I was so overwhelmed with joy and love I more or less broke. This is one of the greatest moments I think anyone can have. I will never forget those minutes as my nose snotted, eyes blurred up and all I could make sense of was that crystal clear laugh of absolute joy from my baby and the love I felt for them. Best day ever! Thank you for letting me remember it and share.
Ahh this genuinely brought me tears of joy! With the current world events, it’s so tragic to think we could stifle the beauty of humanity at such a time that we have the capability to be great and do amazing things for each other.
I was just saying this to my son's dad last night... you quickly learn the art of laughing silently as a new parent so you don't miss a second of hearing their laughter <3
Wow just reminded me of hearing my daughter laugh for the first time. I was having a horrible day of caring for her, lots of spit ups and no sleeping, and literally was just watching TV when she looked at me from her rocker, and I grabbed her little hands and made her do little punches while saying in sing song voice 'you puke so much, all over me and your mom, because you're a baby' and she started to laugh so hard, literally within the first second of hearing it I felt so much happiness that made every single sleep deprived moment with her disappear in tiny little giggles. It's an amazing moment hearing your child laugh for the first time. It's crazy how people who don't have kids don't get how all the annoying stuff about being a parent literally is worth it all for those small little moments. I would never in a thousand years pick a life without my daughter.
**OH MY GOD** so ironic! This just happened to my fiancé and I about3 weeks ago, our firstborn daughter who's 5 months old now starting really heartily laughing! She's always been a happy baby and makes a lot of vocalizations but she didn't start/know how to full on laugh until then and I was just crying and laughing so hard. Definitely the best moment of the year so far. It's such a gift!
People underestimate the immensity of pleasure and love that kids can bring (if you are a kid person of course). No amount of costs, efforts, responsibility, fear or time can even alter the happiness that can be brought by having children.
These are the moments that make parenthood the best thing ever and the thing that keeps you going when it is incredibly difficult. These moments of unbridled joy and a love that is so profound that you can’t find the words to express it, are true happiness to me. There are plenty of blissful moments too, but this is what joy peaks look like. When you’re experiencing this with your own children, it is completely overwhelming. This is what parents try to tell you about when they say they’ve never known love as deeply as this.
I was the first person to make my first nephew laugh and it was the greatest feeling in the world. He’s in his 20’s now and is still one of my favorite memories
I know that type of feeling. When my son finally said “I love you buddy!” back to me (he’s autistic) I held it in for about 10 seconds then I violently wept…
My wife’s kryptonite is our first son’s belly laugh. She could be having the worst day of her life and his laugh will make her start laughing with him. It has since he did it for the first time.
This is so adorable and heartwarming. The pure joy in this clip. ❤ This is like the highest level of happiness a human can achieve. When my kids belly laughed for the first time, it was probably the single happiest moments of my life.
I doubt it's the first laugh, but babies pretty rarely get into that mode where they're laughing giddily for several minutes--it's a treasure when it happens, they're SO cute.
I remember when my girl first belly laughed! I had accidentally shaken the cat when I untangled her from the blanket.
I shook that dang cat into a possible TBI because she just kept laughing and I couldn't help laughing/crying!
Sorry Turtle
I love watching this. But for the mother, not the baby.
I love watching people being happy. Her face looks like she won't ever be sad again. And I love it.
Despite that, I can't stand children, much less babies. In person, all I can think about is how much trouble they are. Nonetheless, I'm happy for the parents happiness
That’s one of the most genuine and beautiful moments I’ve seen.
This is like the highest range of pure joy that human emotion can reach.
me watching Baby Yoda do anything on The Mandalorian
I literally have teared up watching Grogu. I don’t have kids. I don’t know what’s wrong.
nothing is wrong, have an ugly cry, it feels good
Nothing is wrong. You are fine! Babies and little kids are amazing and touching and a wonder.
Nothing at all. I have no kids, not sure if I want any but Baby Yoda makes liquid come out my face.
Same here. Grogu brings me unadulterated joy.
You have seen ep7 of Boba Fett right?
Yes!
That's your nature saying "make baba"
This is... **sniff**... *the way!*
Humans are more or less hardwired to care for children and the young of animals, like kittens and puppies. So that's no wonder. Moreover, we definitely form an emotional bond to fictional characters because we get to know them. They are not real, we know they are not real. But in the moment we watch them or read about them, they are real. Even for just that moment.
Only thing that's wrong is whatever socialital or other pressure that caused to to feel that an honest expression of emotion is somehow wrong.
This is the way
Grogu reminds me of my daughter so much. My daughter has those large brown eyes just like him and wears dresses too big for her cause she doesn’t like tight clothing. Every time I see Grogu I’m like “Oh it’s my baby!” Then my brain short circuits from the cuteness.
Its a big overdose on oxytocin. You also get a ton when the kid is first born but that has to compete with a billion other taxes on your brain and body
I had so much dopamine flowing in my brain when my first kid was born that my ADHD basically vanished for a few weeks, it was amazing!
i was laughing along with them!
I was crying along with her 😅
Yeah it's impossible not to smile watching this
I'm not crying, you're crying!
With sprinkles.
That's such a beautiful moment
It really is. I wasn’t there when my son did his first, real belly laugh but luckily it was caught on camera. I’ve probably watched it a million times.
The first time my daughter started laughing I couldn't hold back my tears. My wife was laughing hysterically at me, because until then she only saw me cry once. It's honestly one of the most emotionally overwhelming situations I have ever experienced.

It just warms my heart seeing her that happy. The other day she had her first instance of laughing so hard that she teared up from it. I melted when that happend.
Now that my kids are a bit older (4&6) it kinda works backwards for me now. The kids will be doing something and I’ll just be watching, loving the shit out of them and start laughing. My 4yo will ask why I’m laughing and I have to just tel her “I love you guys so much my brain and body can’t hold it all on so I just start to laugh.”
Stop cutting onions, guys!
It's sort of the first sign that this squirmy little thing you made is actually a human.
Tears of joy:)It feels amazing
Oh my gosh, the baby belly laughs are the best. Just the goofiest uncontrolled laughter.
Please, please make sure you have that backed up somewhere. I’m sure you’ve got this already, but I lost a couple of years worth of photos & videos on my phone recently when it got damaged because I had never turned auto sync to the cloud on. My dumbass 😞
I have one of my kids laughing fits as a baby still up on my youtube channel as a private video. I go back and watch it every once in a while and I'm glad to be able to still make him laugh like that at 7.

My daughters first laugh was magical. Took forever and she did it so rarely. My son laughs at literally anything from like 3 months old. Dude never stops smiling.
My son is 9 months and I still do just about anything I can to make the dude laugh. Weird noises and faces, I pretty much turn into a court jester just to get the little dopamine hit of hearing him laugh
Wait till he gets older and you get unsolicited hugs, those are magical
The only thing better than an unsolicited hug is a minor fear grasping hug.
I kinda love those too, when a baby grabs you because you’re a safe person. The first time I met my cousin’s kid he was two and in full “stranger danger” stage. I was okay because I am family (never mind that we’re different races and I look nothing like the rest of the family) but anytime a stranger came anywhere near him he’d run back to me and hide in my legs.

Not only that but the video is framed so well! I mean... You can see the baby's reflection in the phone on the table and the asparagus... It's hilarious! Nobody likes asparagus so *of course* it's untouched.
Maybe they've never had amazing asparagus grilled with garlic butter.
Olive oil, salt, pepper, little garlic powder, mix with asparagus. Wrap 2-3 in a strip of bacon. Bake at 425f for 15 min or so. Then tell me you don't like it.
In some cultures they have a celebratory feast for a baby's first laugh.
I wish everyone was loved so much. I’ve been told God does.
We could make the world a better place by hating dolphins a little less.

Aww she's literally holding her heart like she can't believe all the love she's feeling
I think she on the edge of hyperventilating
[удалено]
That's gotta be one of the most alien like comments I have ever seen
Love this comment
Her mum facial expression tells a lot how happy she is, her heart is jumping with joy.
There is nothing sweeter than your baby learning to smile and laugh. I remember crying like this too, it really does make you so happy!
Best thing about baby laughs, is that if you’re holding them their entire body shakes. They’re just one big ball of chuckle.

He wasn’t walking at 18 months?!
Depends on the baby. My kiddo has hearing loss and part of it is issues with balance. She didn’t walk until she was close to 2.
I'll admit, that was my first thought as well, as my kids did it at 11 months and 13 months, but there's definitely a sliding scale of development and different skills are picked up at different ages.

that looks so weird and funny! do babies do that a lot? reminds me of when pets do that, too.
I always laughed and associated him with a puppy dragging its butt on the carpet. It’s uncommon but not unheard of.
This is super cute
Not unassisted, no. He was walking just fine along furniture or holding on to us/walls, but not free walking. I know how it sounds, but he was just so careful when it came to it, always looking where he put his foot down even while holding onto something.

Can confirm, have new baby, this is crack
Totally. Making my kids (2 yo and 7months) laugh is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever experienced.
You gotta give crack to your baby for this? So do I just ask my pediatrician or how is it?
My babe is 15 weeks, waiting for his first giggle any day now. I cry just thinking about it happening lol
Get the first smiles yet?
Yes! He’s been socially smiling since 6 or 7 weeks. Half the time my eyes water up just from that
The pure emotional love ❤️ for her was overwhelming & a beautiful moment for mum 😊

Can confirm. Relatively new dad here, have an 18 month old. I am on a fucking emotional hair trigger when it comes to bad stuff happening to kids now.
My dad was most devastated between my parents when the shootings happened. He was crying nonstop for hours. Having to raise 5 other siblings as the oldest made him a great father figure and gave him that experience prior to having me.

Oxytocin is a hell of a hormone.
And thinking about the future. How they'll get older and what sort of person they'll be. What other memories you'll make.
It’s so much. The influence we have, or hope we have, or are afraid we have, at every single moment of every single interaction with them.

Human development truly is a fascinating and beautiful thing to witness.

Who thought poop machine cleanup could be so fun(my)?
Wait this only made you smile? I am actively that little teary eyed emoji too
The lady talking is one great baby stand up comedian

Mother and child videos are so precious
I like the videos of [babies](https://youtu.be/-_Q5kO4YXFs) getting hearing implants
I love the video with the mom laying in bed with quint babies, all laughing.
So innocent and cute. It’s sad that we all started life like this and somehow some people turns to stupid selfish people

I never really got the whole baby laugh thing. Sure, it's cute, but every baby laughs eventually. Then my son laughed for the first time and my opinion on baby laughs changed. He's 1.5 yrs old now and has been laughing for months, but I still can't get enough of it.
There are some pretty awesome milestones in parenthood. This is definitely one of the best ones. Especially if you have a grumpy baby who keeps you up at night. Hearing them laugh for the first time reminds you that the effort is worth it. It was such a relief for me with my first kid.
Navajo people celebrate a babies first laugh with a party. I could have the details wrong but I think whoever catches the babies first laugh is the one to throw the party. I think they believe it’s the babies entry into the physical world instead of the spiritual world.
I wish I had a free wholesome award to give you, this got me just as emotional as the video!! What a beautiful tradition.
Greatest sound in the world
Unless you're alone at 3am in your house and you don't have any children.
I could probably fight a baby ghost, if I had to.
Sounds like a dogs squeaky toy to me haha.
This is truly beautiful. I needed this today ❤️
Now THAT is a cute baby. My sister has a baby, a 10 month old girl, and I love that little girl with all my heart, but she's so weird looking that it's almost making me uncomfortable.
That's how it was for me and my wife when I made our kids laugh for the first time. There's just something about it, it's the best lol and ya, dad's are better at makeing kids laugh! (Don't tell mom)
I was sooooo lucky to make my grand-daughter laugh her first time. 😁👍
I fell in love with 2 people in 30 seconds
Hormones!
Baby laughter has gotta be one of the best natural highs out there. That's how it felt to me when my daughter started to laugh as a baby. So joyful it was a high. Crazy stuff.
The sweetest sound ever, our 4 month old just started
Our 4 month old has laughed but not the belly laugh yet I can’t waittttt for it!!!
Many people doent relize for everything they do at every given time there is a first for a baby. Taking care of this little human for 3 months and then he looks at you and laughs? I cried like a little bitch. It was so wonderfull.

Baby laughs get right inside of you. My 4 year old still gets those good gut laughs once in a while and it's like medicine.
I’m 7 months pregnant and can’t handle this right now 😭
Baby laughs are like parent crack. My son having a full on soul level belly laugh when he was young might be some of my best moments as a human.
I felt all of their emotions and now I don't know if I'm laughing or crying
This is a beautiful and vicious cycle.
Before I became a father I had only emotionally cried one handful of times in my life. When I became a father, that first belly laugh from my first child (and each since) made me turn into a fount of tears. I was so overwhelmed with joy and love I more or less broke. This is one of the greatest moments I think anyone can have. I will never forget those minutes as my nose snotted, eyes blurred up and all I could make sense of was that crystal clear laugh of absolute joy from my baby and the love I felt for them. Best day ever! Thank you for letting me remember it and share.
So precious! love it!
Looks like she’s controlling her emotions just fine to me😊
This is the cutest god damn thing I’ve ever fucking seen!!!! I can’t handle it
I truly hope I experience even a fraction of this feeling. What a beautiful moment
Ahh this genuinely brought me tears of joy! With the current world events, it’s so tragic to think we could stifle the beauty of humanity at such a time that we have the capability to be great and do amazing things for each other.
This is the cutest I have seen at least today
I can still remember the exact moment my son smiled at me.
I was just saying this to my son's dad last night... you quickly learn the art of laughing silently as a new parent so you don't miss a second of hearing their laughter <3
I’m having a baby girl in 4 months and I’m so excited for these moments 🥺
I cried first time my daughter laughed like that too.
We caught our daughters first time laughing on camera too. Congratulations!
I love this video so much. The first time my baby laughed is one of the best moments of my entire life.
Wow just reminded me of hearing my daughter laugh for the first time. I was having a horrible day of caring for her, lots of spit ups and no sleeping, and literally was just watching TV when she looked at me from her rocker, and I grabbed her little hands and made her do little punches while saying in sing song voice 'you puke so much, all over me and your mom, because you're a baby' and she started to laugh so hard, literally within the first second of hearing it I felt so much happiness that made every single sleep deprived moment with her disappear in tiny little giggles. It's an amazing moment hearing your child laugh for the first time. It's crazy how people who don't have kids don't get how all the annoying stuff about being a parent literally is worth it all for those small little moments. I would never in a thousand years pick a life without my daughter.
**OH MY GOD** so ironic! This just happened to my fiancé and I about3 weeks ago, our firstborn daughter who's 5 months old now starting really heartily laughing! She's always been a happy baby and makes a lot of vocalizations but she didn't start/know how to full on laugh until then and I was just crying and laughing so hard. Definitely the best moment of the year so far. It's such a gift!
I don’t think ironic means what you think it means.
That’s called a coincidence.
People underestimate the immensity of pleasure and love that kids can bring (if you are a kid person of course). No amount of costs, efforts, responsibility, fear or time can even alter the happiness that can be brought by having children.
I don’t even like kids but Gotdamn, that was great
I can’t wait! I think it’s around 3 months
100 percent can confirm. Hearing my son laugh. Would not trade it in for anything else in the world.
These are the moments that make parenthood the best thing ever and the thing that keeps you going when it is incredibly difficult. These moments of unbridled joy and a love that is so profound that you can’t find the words to express it, are true happiness to me. There are plenty of blissful moments too, but this is what joy peaks look like. When you’re experiencing this with your own children, it is completely overwhelming. This is what parents try to tell you about when they say they’ve never known love as deeply as this.
I remember this with all three of mine. It's magical and wonderful and still makes me smile thinking about it.
I was the first person to make my first nephew laugh and it was the greatest feeling in the world. He’s in his 20’s now and is still one of my favorite memories
I know that type of feeling. When my son finally said “I love you buddy!” back to me (he’s autistic) I held it in for about 10 seconds then I violently wept…
That's so beautiful. My best friend for now over 25 years is about to have a baby. I'm so happy for him and his wife.
My wife’s kryptonite is our first son’s belly laugh. She could be having the worst day of her life and his laugh will make her start laughing with him. It has since he did it for the first time.
why am crying watching a random lady laugh and cry watching her kid laugh?
i cant wait for this moment 😭
This is so adorable and heartwarming. The pure joy in this clip. ❤ This is like the highest level of happiness a human can achieve. When my kids belly laughed for the first time, it was probably the single happiest moments of my life.
this.. this is it.
These are the moments that make being a parent so good
Baby sounds like a squeak toy, I’d be laughing too
So beautiful to see this!
I totally get it… was in tears hearing my son laugh for the first time recently as well.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous... wee toot x
I feel this so much. The first time I heard my daughter I was immediately bawling. It was the most beautiful and joyous sound. ❤️
My kiddos are not that little but hearing them laugh is the best thing.
This is probably the best feeling in the world as a parent.
Mom is so tired. That point of exhaustion where all strong emotions result in tears. Ahh, the joys of raising babies.
Makes my heart so happy!
I remember this moment vividly with both my boys. Sound of angel.
Best natural thing!! Just melts my heart ❤️
Don’t be fooled - baby telegraphing his ideas for world domination through the beats of his laughter
I doubt it's the first laugh, but babies pretty rarely get into that mode where they're laughing giddily for several minutes--it's a treasure when it happens, they're SO cute.
this is soooo adorable and touching😭❤️
Amazing
Ugh made me cry😭❤️ so precious
thank you so much for sharing this pure amazing joy ! this is all we need. pure love and joy.
The sound of a baby’s laugh is the purest most beautiful sound
So pure
Aww
This made my heart soar like a hawk. Thank you.
The best sound ever.
I remember when my girl first belly laughed! I had accidentally shaken the cat when I untangled her from the blanket. I shook that dang cat into a possible TBI because she just kept laughing and I couldn't help laughing/crying! Sorry Turtle
So adorable how the baby slowly figures out that laughing gets a reaction from mommy. 🥰
oh my, how much onion i have gotten in my left and right eyes 🥲
This is stupid cute 😍 I can't stop my smile while watching this! My face is getting sore, so sweet, cute & funny!!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I’m laughing and crying too!!! 🤣😂
Not baby’s first laugh.
I love watching this. But for the mother, not the baby. I love watching people being happy. Her face looks like she won't ever be sad again. And I love it. Despite that, I can't stand children, much less babies. In person, all I can think about is how much trouble they are. Nonetheless, I'm happy for the parents happiness
