Advent day 9
This morning we went to the Met to get some culture. Whilst we were waiting to pick up our pram from the left property thing, Bluet and I made this video. I showed it to Bluet again, and she thinks it is the funniest thing she has ever seen. I pretty much agree.

That Joke isn't Funny Anymore
It turns out that old maxim, 'repeat until funny' works in reverse with Bluet. We told you that she used to laugh hysterically at the 'Gee' joke (for a day), but no more. We've been trying in vain to capture her laughing for you all to watch for about a week, to no avail. Then we discovered if you pick her up and bounce her on her feet, as if she were trampolining, it made her giggle and smile. We soon realised this was the ideal opportunity to capture her laugh on video - surely bouncing up and down could never lose its appeal?
So we waited for the ideal lighting conditions, whipped out the iPhone, and, well, here it is, Bluet laughing whilst bouncing. But before you all get too overexcited, as you'll see in the film, bouncing is funny at first, but soon the joke wears thin (in less than 26 seconds!). What we have here is probably the final piece of film in which Bluet laughs whilst bouncing (unless we buy her a trampoline), and probably the only footage in human history of a joke in the process of ceasing to be funny.

In which Ben is left holding the baby, and Bluet tries to eat her hand
Tonight I came home early so Emily could head out to purchase important supplies. Whilst amusing Bluet, I attempted to capture footage of her laughing. Two days ago, all you had to say was 'Gee' and she would giggle away, as if this were the funniest joke ever told. But apparently even babies tire of jokes, no matter how sophisticated, so we need to think of something else hilarious to a baby (suggestions welcome).
Until then, here is a video of Bluet talking (a little) then eating her hand (Spoiler Alert). It is almost as good as laughing.
PS I also discovered a previously undiscovered treasure trove of previously unseen pictures - so when we reach 3,000 visits, I'll dig some out. They have to be SEEN TO BE BELIEVED!
