Giggles Galore!

Mom scooped Jasmine up, her heart doing a little flip-flop. Oh, this baby! Jasmine, her darling little Jasmine, was the most perfect, most precious, most delightfully silly creature in the entire universe. And right now, Jasmine was looking at her with those big, curious eyes, a tiny wrinkle forming between her brows as she contemplated the fascinating world of… well, whatever it was that had captured her attention. Mom couldn't help but smile. Even when Jasmine was just staring intently at a dust bunny, she was the cutest thing ever.

Suddenly, Jasmine’s hand shot out, a determined little fist reaching for something Mom hadn’t even noticed. It was a sock. A stray, slightly fuzzy, definitely not-baby-toy sock that had somehow escaped the laundry basket. Before Mom could even utter a sound, Jasmine’s tiny fingers had snagged it, and with a triumphant wiggle, she’d managed to get the whole thing into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out, her eyes widened in surprise, and then, a little muffled “Mmmph!” escaped her.

Mom blinked. “Jasmine! What are you doing, sweetie?” She gently pried the sock from Jasmine’s determined grip. “Oh, my goodness! You tried to eat a sock! My little sock monster!” She couldn't help but chuckle. Jasmine, now sock-free but looking thoroughly unimpressed, let out a little huff.
