The husband has the knack for getting the baby to giggle.
As you start, she'll smile bigger and bigger until it seems impossible for her mouth to take up so much room. Quite often, she'll give a little squeal and then you've really got to work for it - her laugh has a funny tone - it comes from more inside, like a more nasal and muffled noise.
- Make chomping noises at her as you move closer to raspberry her belly.
- Hum the Jaws theme as you get sloooooooooooowly closer before tickling her.
- Hold her tight and lean down towards your toes, calling out 'upside down hugs!'.
- Shoosh her around above your head and steer her side to side like a rocket.
- Take off her clothes and tell her 'give me that!' as you pull her arms in through her sleeves.
I can only really do the first one - and it's harder for me than it is for her daddy. Her face just lights up when she see's him - she knows he is more than likely to give it a go each time he sees her.
