Makes it all better...

Anika has not been very nice these last couple of days... she has been EXTREMELY fussy. But she gave me something nice too :) She laughed at me!!! Best sound in the world right now. I'm sure hearing her say "ma ma" and "I love you" will be so much better but I love to hear her laugh. The first time I knew it was her laugh I thought my heart was going to explode. I was singing Wannabe by the Spice Girls (don't know how I got that stuck in my head but she laughed!) to her and moving her hands to the beat and she let out the sweetest laugh I have ever heard. When I explained how it sounded to my husband he called it a Beavis and Butthead laugh, but it is so much cuter than that. The second that sound escaped her lips my entire body became warm and my heart swelled to the point where I didn't even feel like I could breathe. I wanted to cry and laugh and give her all the hugs and kisses in the world. When I had my husband rush in to listen she was already done laughing and wasn't going to do it again. She has laughed before but those only lasted a second, yesterday she was laughing because she thinks her mommy is so funny :) Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Seeing her giant toothless grin makes all of her fussy moments fade into the past. So March 22nd 2010 was her first laugh!

That picture may be fuzzy but it is so cute!
