Baby giggles are the best.  There is nothing that says you're doing parenting right than when you hear your child laugh or smile.  All of Raven's random noises are quite entertaining, but sometimes it's hard to hear the tv over how loud she is (wonder where she gets that from?)  On the other hand, baby cries are the worst.  True, this is how babies have to mostly communicate when needing something, but I hate hearing her cry, it breaks my heart.  I'm not looking forward to toddler temper tantrums but it will be a necessary evil.  In the meantime, I'm just going to soak in every time Raven laughs, giggles, or smiles.
