Humor at Eight Months

We've been under the weather lately but Thumper's still giggling it up - and constantly finding new things funny.  Here's some of what apparently tickles an 8-month-old's funny bone:

Bodily functions
Sneezes.  Coughs.  Other, less polite noises.  Showering one's parents with fluids.  They're all hilarious to him, and I have a feeling that's not going to stop for... well, possibly forever.

Knocking down stacked blocks
Is it cause-and-effect or mirth at destruction?  Time will tell.

Shocking his parents
It's a variation of peek-a-boo, I think.  Anything that elicits a dramatic reaction.  At one stage in our bedtime routine, I'll "turn away" and he'll crawl as fast as he can to some other spot.  Then I'm astounded that he managed to "sneak" away.  Hilarity ensues.

Making his parents laugh
One night we put a plastic bowl on his head, and he looked so hilarious and adorable - we just melted and fawned.  Now whenever we put the bowl on his head he gets the biggest grin, knowing what's coming.

I mean really

Hopefully things will be a little more normal around here this next week!
