Something very exciting happened today. It is not that I was painting my nails with Sophia asleep on my lap and I spilled Lincoln Park After Dark on her shirt. It is also not that I pumped 10 oz of breast milk and then proceeded to drop it all over my carpet. No, my exciting news is that Sophia giggled for the first time today! My husband was changing her, he's wonderful, when all of the sudden her coos turned into the cutest giggles I've ever heard! The only giggles I had heard up until today were from annoying girls in high school, and Sophia's, thankfully, were nothing like that. As soon as she laughed I thought of the line from Peter Pan about Tinker Bell that says, "When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." How ironic is it that friends of ours, who didn't know that I've been in love with Tink since I was little, bought Sophia her Halloween costume already and it's none other than Tinker Bell! I love my giggly little fairy.
i will never forget the first time i heard hailey laugh. it's the prettiest thing i have ever heard. hailey has been begging me to be tinkerbell for halloween...she had a tinkerbell birthday patty, too.
