Our First Surprising Milestone!

Grace seems to gradually do most things. For example, she lifted her head slightly, then held it up and was wobbly, until she could finally hold it steady. So, while these milestones are certainly awesome and memorable, they haven't really been surprising so far. But last night, Ryan turned on the sweeper, so I tried to distract Gracie to keep her from getting upset. I laid on my back on the floor and held her up above me. And instead of crying like I thought she was going to, she laughed! She actually laughed. I was so surprised, that I started banging my foot on the floor so that I didn't startle her (by yelling), but could get Ryan's attention. I thought, there's no way she'll do it again right then so Ryan could hear her. But I repeated the motion and she laughed again, twice! It was so cute! I spent the next 20 minutes making a fool of myself trying to get her to laugh again, but she just looked at me like I had two heads and did her own thing. I can't wait to hear more!
