I finally got a giggle 🥺❤️❤️❤️

And then i squealed and he got scared 😅🙃 He's been on the cusp of a giggle for about 10 days, and my husband has been adamant he is going to get him to laugh. Feel very proud mummy did it first 😅❤️ Who else has had their first giggle? Such a wonderful sound!

Babies hands in mouth

Baby is teething and hands are constantly on her mouth. Are we just letting babies explore their hands in their mouth? I feel like I’m constantly taking her hand out of her mouth every second of the day 🙈

Speech

I’ve never had concerns about my son’s speech tbf I think he has close to 200 words. Has started to use 2-3 word sentences. But the pronunciation still isn’t 100% crystal clear.
