My baby laughed today!
I was playing with Ava today doing "pushups" over my head and making faces and saying "zoom!" and suddenly she started giggling and doing big belly laughs. I got tears of joy in my eyes to hear that first happy sound. Mike got her to giggle the other day but I was in the shower and missed it. She is a very quiet baby. She hardly ever cries and usually smiles at me but it has been rare to hear her babble. And suddenly - laughter. Ah bliss!
We went to a lactation meeting today and met two more moms. One was from Utah so that was a little weird. Their babies were around 2 weeks each. They were so tiny! Ava was so big when she was born - 9.5 lbs - so seeing a baby that is 6 or 7 lbs is so strange. They look so frail, tiny and wrinkly and it makes me count my blessings that my little one is so big!
It is funny to look back and seeing those babies all sleepy and newborn was just another happy moment to see how far Ava has come already.
That is soooo awesome!!!!
