that laugh

I heard her laugh for the first time yesterday, and not just the little ‘heh’ that she puts out sometimes (which is pretty cute in itself), but a full-on laugh!  Chels had told me that she heard her laugh a couple of days ago, and I was understandably a bit jealous that I missed it. Then I was holding her on my lap as I do, and was doing nothing more than talking with her and squishing her cheeks (and why wouldn’t you, have you seen them? they’re so squishable) and she was smiling more and more, and then it happened. I couldn’t believe it, it was so adorable, I couldn’t help but laugh, which scared her a bit, but then I stopped, and started squishing her cheeks again, and she did it again!  That was it, I lost it, I was laughing so hard, it was hilarious. She didn’t laugh again, but she gave me a few more smiles.

My amazing little girl got a sense of humor finally, although I’m still not sure what triggers it. As soon as I find out though…
