What makes your baby laugh uncontrollably?

Today I learned that when playing peek a boo (my 8 month old's favorite game in the whole world right now), if I said a random word instead of boo after about 10 times he would be laughing so hard he was crying and I had to stop in order to let him catch his breath! We've also learned that he thinks that staple guns are hilarious when Mommy is using them and anything that Mommy puts on her head, whether an actual hat or not is enough to make him fall on the floor laughing.

So I was wondering what things make your little ones laugh so hard their belly's hurt? I'm curious because I want to see what else I can do that will get my guy to scream with delight.

    My mom got my oldest one to laugh like that by smelling her feet.

    She'd put her nose to them and push them away from her and exclaim "pew wee you peet tink!" I know it's baby talk but we all can say we do it.

    My youngest one her favorite thing is the dog. this just started too! The dog would give her kisses (lick her) on her leg, arm feet or even cheek a couple of times and she laugh till she cried.

    Both the girls laugh at my oldest son. 12.5 yrs old, making funny faces and trying to wrestle with his dad. the girls love for him to wrestle. they get up on the couch with me and just refree. if they think that daddy is getting their bubba then they scream "top!!" then my husband has to stop and they start laughing again. I don't understand what is so funny but they love it.

    My nephew was harder to get to laugh, but one day I sneezed and he started laughin uncontrolable. so then I pretended to sneeze. (throwing my hair and head forward) and he start again.

    Good luck, a baby's laugh will have you rolling!!!

    Our daughter would keel over when she made the cat jump. If Miss Meepers got too close, our daughter would jab a finger in her direction, and Ka-POW! Off like a shot!

    We thought it was funny too. ( The first hundred times, or so, anyway.)

    We graduated to "The Dadinator", Tummy farts, Peek a Boo, anything slapstick. She hated the Stooges. She's more of a real life action comedienne. She doesn't laugh at television comedy.

    She's 7 now. And she can't get near that cat! Meepers is a little jumpy. I wonder why?

    My daughter used to do the blanket thing at that age. She also had this little pop-up tent that her uncle had bought for her. She would get inside, stand up, and then walk around the house with it balancing on her head. My SO and I were like "Oh look a walking tent" and she would laugh like crazy. Shes 4 now and just says the craziest things. I love the stories and songs she makes up. She loves the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and in the beginning a big banana hits the statue lady thing. She laughs so hard everytime she sees it and yells, "Mommy! A banana got her!" I also have a nearly 10 mo and she'll get down on the floor, look at you like shes got a secret, crawl a little ways, look at you again, and when you start going after her, she starts laughing and crawling faster. Her form of "tag" I guess. :) Her dad also got her laughing so hard one time that she was falling down and that made us laugh as well.

    Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU9hX

    A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

    Our son laughs at the dog. He laughs every time she walks by, when she barks, when she runs, no matter what she does - he just loves it. This morning she ran in circles around us and he was laughing so darn hard. I guess they were just as excited to see each other.

    My son absolutely loves peek a boo too. He especially loves it when he feels he wasn't supposed to see you yet. Like if I peek half-way out and he sees me before I actually say peek a boo. He also loves to do it himself now if you give him a blanket or something.

    He laughs at other babies too. His cousin is five months older and is walking so when he walks around my son laughs.

    I watch my niece during the day, and one day at the mall we were in the bathroom, and I had to get a paper towel for me and my daughters, and it was one of the automatic ones, that you wave your hand over. She started cracking up, and was laughing so hard at that!! It is a full blown out uncontrollable laugh, that just makes you laugh along!

    Babies Laughing Hard

    I get the best belly laughs when I blow raspberries on her belly (on the side). She laughs hysterically.

    Also when I make animal noises she gets pretty amused as well.
