The day before yesterday, Elise gave me her first social smile. She'd already smiled many, many times-- for gas, in her sleep, whatever. But the day before yesterday was the first time she smiled in response to something.
Then yesterday, Elise gave me her first laugh.
She woke up from a mid-morning nap super happy. She was smiling and cooing and looking generally delighted with just being awake. So I reached over and started tickling her tummy. She laughed. I don't think I was really tickling her, but just that she liked the extra attention.
She wasn't very good at laughing. She laughed for a second, then choked on her spit. It was so cute, though. I can't wait for her next laugh.
you NEED a video camera!
