VERY FIRST LAUGH!!

So, we'd heard her first single giggle - she must have been having a good dream because it happened in her sleep about 1-2 weeks ago.

This week...

First REAL laugh! 

(Thank goodness I had my phone nearby to capture it!)

What was making her giggle, you ask?  

Here ya go:

3 Months

WOW!! When did THAT happen?!

The end of the proverbial "fourth tri-mester" as they say.

a smile to brighten any room
