Phoebus' first laugh. 🥹🤍

Phoebus' first laugh. 🥹🤍

Today, Phoebus first laughed aloud.

And the person who heard it was the first person, not Ma Mi

But a grandmother. 🤍

She found the moment first and told Ma Mi.

Just hearing it is very happy.

Because before, Phoebus was starting to have something new for Ma Mi to keep noticing.

Start smiling better.

Start looking at people when talking too

It started to sound like I wanted to talk to the people around me.

Sometimes Ma Mie speaks, and she gives a reply, like she's actually talking.

And about two weeks ago, they started catching books.

Then started catching toys.

At first it wasn't caught every time, sometimes it wasn't reached, sometimes it got caught and got out of hand, but more often it started to feel like Phoebus was getting more determined.

See interested items

Look

Then reach for

Little hands are slowly learning what they can do with the world in front of them.

Ma Mie likes to look at moments like this very much.

Because it's a small development that happens in everyday life that we don't have to do anything special.

Just have a book in front of it.

There are toys to catch.

Someone to talk to

Someone smiles

There are people playing too

And one day, what I couldn't do began to do.

Around the age of four months, many children become more interested in the people around them, start to interact, start laughing or giggling when people play with them, and start using their eyes and hands together more to reach out and grab items of interest.

But what Ma Mie feels is the cutest is that each child has his own rhythm.

Something came first.

Something comes later.

Something happened on the day we didn't even mean to wait.

Like today.

No one knew today would be the first day Phoebus laughed aloud.

It's not prepared.

No one's waiting to laugh today.

It just happens at an ordinary moment with Grandma.

And then that little laugh became another "first" of Phoebus.

Ma Mie secretly regretted a little too not being there when the laughter happened.

But when thinking of another angle, it feels very good

Because at least Grandma's there.

Grandma was the first to hear your grandchildren's laughter.

And he told me this cute story.

Some memories, we may not be seeing ourselves every second.

But if there are people we love there instead of us,

It is still the memory of our family.

And this is another story that Ma Mie wanted to record for Phoebus.

Ma Mi has been very clear that Phoebus is slowly changing every day.

From a little kid who used to lie alone looking at his face.

Now it's starting to react more to the people around it.

There's something interesting.

Have something to catch

There is a sound that I want to send out.

There was a smile that responded.

And now there's my own laugh.

In retrospect, it's like everything's coming together.

From looking at the face

Is a smile.

From smiling.

It's a sound.

From the sound.

It's the beginning of having a small conversation with the people around you.

From the look of

It's reaching for

From reach.

It's a capture of books and toys.

And today there was a laugh.

It doesn't happen together.

But happen little by little.

One by one.

Until one day we looked back and realized that you had grown a lot.

Maybe raising a child is like this.

Most of our days are still very, very ordinary days.

Eat milk

Sleep.

Diaper change

Carried

Play

Sing.

Read a book.

Catching toys

Talk.

And then go back and do the same

But in those ordinary things, you're learning all the time.

He learned by looking at our faces.

From the sound heard.

From the replies of the people around.

From reaching to catch things.

From the play.

From laughing.

And from small relationships that recur every day,

We may have no idea what's new tomorrow.

But when something happens first, we recognize it immediately.

It's the same today.

Phoebus' laughter can be a few seconds short.

But for the home, it's not just one sound.

It is the sound that says

This little kid is growing up a step further.

In two days, Phoebus will be four months.

Very fast, really.

Like just going through the phase we watched, he started smiling.

Start making noise.

Start looking after people

Start catching books.

Start catching toys.

And now there's one more laugh.

Ma Mi feels that the "first" period occurs very often.

And every time it makes us want to stop time a little

Not because I don't want my children to grow up.

But because wanting to remember when he was small like this for as long as possible

Want to remember the little hand that is learning to hold things

I want to remember the sounds you hear every day.

Want to remember the smile that is still a small child

And today also want to remember his first laugh

Although Ma Mie will not be the first to hear

But Ma Mie is very happy that Grandma is there.

Glad Grandma heard first.

Glad another family man had his first memory with Phoebus.

And Ma Mie will keep this.

One day, if Phoebus grows up and comes back to read what Mamie wrote,

I may not remember when my first laugh happened.

But Ma Mie wanted me to know

Once, when I was very small,

My short laughter.

Used to make Grandma happy

Makes Ma happy

And become another memory that our family wants to keep.

I'll be four months in two days, Phoebus.

Grow up, son.

There's no rush.

Ma Mi will gradually watch me grow one day at a time.

And I'll try to keep as much of my "first" as possible.

Today is laughter.

What's next time?

I don't know.

But Ma Mi, wait and see here. 🤍

Phoebus' first laugh.

Grandma heard it before anyone else.

And Ma Mie will remember this for me. 🥹🤍
