Laughter really is the best medicine...



Usually when you are in a deep sleep at 5:45 in the morning, there would be nothing good about waking up to ANY noise or ANY sight.

But this past Thursday morning, I would completely disagree! With Avery snuggled in my arms, we both tried to catch a 45 minute catnap before the alarm went off.

The sun was peaking through the curtains, causing both of us to stir. While my reaction was a little more "grump", I glanced at Avery to see a HUGE smile on her face and then yes...she laughed. Not once but twice. A real-from-the-belly laugh. Happy tears flooded my eyes and I couldn't stop smiling....ALL DAY. And of course had to let everyone know! I mean, if a stranger stared at me too long, I found myself professing the good news! K, maybe that's not true but I at least thought about it! It was the best sound I have ever heard.

As you know from previous posts, I am in NO hurrying for Avery to grow up but milestones like these make the tick tock of life's clock, beautiful.
