Giggle

I entered the nursery after brushing my teeth. Julie was holding Lyla in the chair.

"I wish you would've been in here a second ago."

"Oh?"

"I might cry."

"Why? What happened?"

"She...giggled." A smile spread over Julie's face.

After Julie had fed and burped Lyla, she was holding her on her knees and saying "Blabble-abble-abble-abble" and making funny faces.

And Lyla giggled. It wasn't a "Hee hee!" giggle but more of a "Heh heh" giggle, as if what Julie was doing wasn't brimming with hilarity but still worthy of acknowledgment.

Which means that Lyla is a nine-week-old with a sophisticated sense of humor.

What it really means is that she's developing new ways to interact with us. Now I need to work on my own "Blabble-abble-abble" technique.
