Laughing Baby

McBaby started laughing a month ago. The trouble is, he is incredibly distrustful of cameras. He will be playing with Handsome Bryce, laughing and laughing, but as soon as I pop in with the video camera:



He will clam up mid-giggle! Then he will just stare at the camera and not make a peep until I put it away. But it turns out that McBaby has not yet learned that people can take videos with their cell phones. That is how Haley sneaked this footage:



Gotcha baby!
