Below is a must watch video of my baby laughing for the first time. If you have a child you know how incredible it is to see a laughing baby. Here is the video.

How cute was that? I just love watching babies act out. Its a funny story how she came about. I actually always thought that my wife and I would grow old together while doing everything together.

I had it all planned out for us. I was thinking that we would exercise, cook and do just about everything we could think of with each other. But then came a prayer.

I remember one morning I was praying to God in the car and my prayer was that I would be able to get closer to him and to show me how to love him more. Well, that was about 5:30am one normal work day.

Little did I know that prayer would be the answer to my loving God more. You see, I always had a wrong concept of what love was. Even after I was with my wife for more than 5 years. Today, I’m still learning. Except its a lot easier since I have a baby.

I don’t know exactly what it is about a baby that just brings out the best out of you. I guess its because of how helpless they are. Whatever the case may be, I love my wife and finally understand why God sent me that beautiful baby girl when I asked how I could love him more.

I understand now that I was very self fish in my old ways and In order to love God more I had to learn to love my fellow men first. That’s including my wife. So this baby has actually sprang some great love feelings in my life.

And everyone that I talk to says that a baby is truly the best way to understand how to love someone. Because you no longer regard YOURSELF as much. You begin to regard the special creature that need to be nurtured and taught everything. Including doing everything for them.

Boy, what a medicine for the self fish mind. It has worked for me so I’m pretty sure it can work for anyone else out there. I hope you enjoyed my baby laughing as it is my joy to see a happy baby.
