Laughing or Sleeping?

I just have to share a funny story. Cameron always falls asleep when he's drinking his bottle, so this week I've been trying to break him of that so that he knows how to comfort himself, and go to sleep on his own. At first I was just laying him in his crib, but then when it would take him over an hour to finally fall asleep (thus leaving Owen waking up from his nap... and no break for me) I decided I would try something else for a day or two. So I've been holing him ('baby style') and bouncing him up and down or swinging him back and forth (both methods have always worked like a charm on anybody else). But, oh no, not goofy Cameron. He just thinks I'm trying to play with him and he just laughs and laughs. So I would cover his face with a blanket so that he couldn't see me laughing to. He'd start laughing so hard that I couldn't hold my laughter in anymore and then he'd throw the blanket off his face, look at me laughing with a smile, and start laughing even harder. Thus makes me laugh more! It's such a funny little cycle (and does not accomplish any sleeping!) So today I was prepared to stay straight faced. Started bouncing him and he was laughing, but falling asleep! So I countinued... and so did he. He was totally out, I swear just laughing in his sleep. He eventually was laughing so hard that he woke himself up! I sure do love him to death for loving life so much though! (Wouldn't it be great if we could all wake ourselves up laughing?!)
