Today, Helena belly laughed for the first time. It was an amazing experience to see her laughing with such joy! With a mix of anticipation and blowing a raspberry on her stomach, she laughed uproariously. Amazing!

I subsequently read the following on babycenter.com:

“I am guaranteed giggles when I tell my daughter “mommy’s gonna have a belly sandwich!!” then I kiss her tummy all over going “yum, yum belly!!” She just giggles and kicks her little feet like crazy - needless to say I have belly sandwiches every day!!! :-) “

According to babycenter.com:

A growing range of emotions
Your baby can’t express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he’s angry, bored, or happy, his ability to show love and humor are just developing.

Your baby also shows a strong attachment to you by raising his arms when he wants to be picked up and by crying when you leave the room. He may also give you hugs and kisses.

And he’s beginning to get the joke — he’ll laugh at funny expressions and try to make you laugh, too. Keep the laughter flowing with your silly faces!
