About a week or so ago, Amaya started laughing. It sure surprised her mommy and daddy!
It started when Jan was in the upstairs bathroom getting ready and Amaya and I were in the hallway outside the bathroom. I was holding her horizontally, and moved her just far enough over in front of the doorway so that she could "peek" at Mommy. When she did peek, Mommy said: "Peek-a-boo!" -- then Amaya started laughing! We repeated this over and over and every time she laughed. We called my (Steve) mom so she could hear it too.
Amaya eventually got tired of the peek-a-boo game and stopped laughing... and we haven't been able to get her to laugh ever since!
Anyway, it has been an incredible journey, so far, to hear her begin to vocalize in ways other than crying!
