Charlotte laughed yesterday.


Yes. Something she’s not supposed to do for another few months, according to parental reading material. She does this adorable thing where she smiles at you like you wouldn’t believe the first time she sees you every morning. Yesterday, I gave her the deep voiced, “CHAR-LOTTE!” that often calms her down on the changing table. (Flailing baby limbs and a deeply poopy diaper don’t mix!)  She smiled and cooed.  I followed this up with some “Bah bah dee bee bah dah bah dappah beepy booh!” with the same voice into her ear/the side of her head.  She laughed.  I mean to say that she smiled hugely, shook and made guttural noises from her open-mouthed smile.  She chuckled.  And, to prove it was no fluke, we did this at least ten times.

She was laughing hard enough that I was afraid she might pee her pants; so I stopped.  But then I remembered that she’s a baby in diapers and probably was already peeing her pants and does it like fifteen times a day anyway.  And then I felt silly.
