Caleb just laughs his head off when our two dogs start playing around him. I captured this last night and thought I would share with you guys, enjoy!

TOOO TOOO cute!! Caleb is getting so big and dreamy!! You are going to have keep a very close eye on him when he becomes a teenager, he is surely going to break some hearts!!!
I LOVE the sound of babies laughter! When Catalina is laughing it sounds just like that. It is as close to an angels song that we are ever going to hear.
Cute, thank you for sharing

I have followed your blog since we started our process, and cried when I saw your adoption video!!!! I have watched the whole thing twice! He is an absolute cutie!! I love his smile, and I LOVE his happiness! I hope our little guy will have the joy in his heart that your Caleb has! His laughter is music to my heart!
Thanks,
Sabra

Oh I Love This

HOW SWEET!!!!!!!

OMGosh, you have no idea how that just made my day!!!

I could listen to it over and over....I still say that's the best sound in the world....well, it's a close contest between the baby's laughter and hearing them say "MA MA" !!!!

Thanks so much for sharing, that is just PRICELESS!!!!!!

I'm glad to be able to share Caleb's (and our) joy with all of you.

I posted this with the hope that at least one of you in the midst of this sometimes treacherous always emotional journey would get a single moment of relief. Everyone on this adoption journey travels different roads, but we all share the same destination of having our children home with us the rest of our lives! Good luck to all of you. --Mike

I love his laugh!!! He is adorable to boot!!! Sarah laughs when our golden goes wild and runs around like a goofball. Sam laughs because we all are laughing but he is starting to see the fun in things and has quite a sense of humor of his own!
