(almost) 14 Weeks

We experienced another milestone tonight.  Abigail's first giggle.  :)

For at least the last month, she's been making all sorts of cute cooing and gurgling sounds.  She makes those consonant vowel blends that show us that slowly but surely, her speech skills are developing.  And for the past month, she has been making the cutest almost-a-laugh sounds that really are little shrieks of delight.  However, tonight, she was full-on giggling!  It was just the sweetest sound!!  She had just finished being fed and burped, and Michael and I were sitting on either side of her, when I just started talking to her and kissing her and tickling here.  All of a sudden, there she was giggling!  I tickled her and talk to her a bit more and she just kept laughing!  We tried to record it, but as we're quickly learning (and as most parents know), as soon as you get the camera to take a picture or record something, chances are your child will stop doing whatever it was that you wanted to capture.  :(

Oh well.  I'm sure we'll record it soon enough.  I'm just glad that we were both there to hear it for the first time.  Especially because I've been sad that I go back to work in a couple days and am worried about missing the little things that Abigail does, I'm SO glad that we were both here for it.

Anyways....tomorrow, Abigail is 14 weeks!  She still is sucking on her fists, and most recently, she's pretty attached to sucking on her index and middle fingers together.  She's getting more and more "vocal" and has been making more sounds, and louder sounds too!  She still dislikes baths, but she LOVES showers!  She's still doing well with her earrings.  They still do not appear to bother her at all, and she still doesn't mind when we clean her piercings 3 times daily with the antiseptic we were given.  Not sure if there's much else that's new, but she's doing great and growing like a weed!  We couldn't be happier :)  I'm just so grateful for our little family and couldn't feel more blessed.
