Last night Elena surprised me with a laugh, not a giggle, but a full belly laugh. Her laugh is so cute I couldn't help but laugh too. Elena paused and laughed again; we spent a couple of minutes laughing together. It is the sweetest noise she makes, only second to telling us stories. It is completely amazing how quickly she is becoming her own person.
This morning we met a lady who provides day care in her home. When she spoke to Elena, Elena talked back and then rolled into a big belly laugh. When the lady laughed too, Elena responded with more laughing. She laughs so hard she gets the hiccups. It is too cute. So far Elena seems to be a very content little girl, relaxed and goes with the flow. She isn't upset when strangers hold her and she loves checking out new environments and objects. Not only has she figured out the TV, but she loves looking at trees during our walks. I try to carry her in a pack so we can talk and walk.
Another activity Elena seemed to master yesterday was movement. And it isn't the ordinary type of movement like rolling or scooting, nope. Elena moves in circles counter clockwise. You can put her at 12:30 and before you know it she has moved her body to 12. Her head stays in about the same spot, she just scoots her body around. She has dabbled in rolling onto her side from her back and sometimes she will scoot in a straight line. During tummy time, Elena does not like to use her arms--she uses her back to pull her head up. She is such a silly little thing, so adorable and lovable. :)
