Object(s) of Affection

When Alec feels love, he laughs. This might be in response to some action, but occasionally (and only ever in the case of girls aged 0 to 19) he takes a look at people and giggles quite hysterically (and often repeatedly). It thrills me to see him so outrageously happy, and, in most cases, it also pleases the object(s) of his affection.

Yesterday at baby massage class, the little girl beside us wanted to touch him so she reached out and brushed his face with her hand, at which time her Mom teared up because it was such a sweet moment. Alec's response was to open his mouth really wide and sway his head forward, as if he planned to taste her. Either that, or he was contemplating a head butt. I think the former.
