Another First

Today was Eli's first time giggling at me making a funny face at him. He's been laughing in response to me doing something physical to him (tickling or blowing on his feet) for a few weeks now, but he hasn't laughed at anything non-physical until today. So this morning I was just making a face at him and snorting [she admits sheepishly] and he started cracking up. I wasn't sure if it was a fluke so I waited and while and did it again, and sure enough, he started giggling. So there's another first. It melted my heart.

And on a humorous note: today Eli pooped through his diaper while Eric was holding him. Moments later I caught brave ol' daddy walking him to the changing table...arms outstretched, holding Eli as far away as possible. It reminded me of that old 80's movie "Three Men and a Little Lady". Why men can deem flatulence hilarious and then come unglued at a drop of scentless poop I'll never understand! :)
