We sat on the couch crying. - Day she laughed

I thought this was a cute little story to follow the one I wrote. This happened before the other, and I may have never even written it, but it's such a cute memory for me.

The babe was 2 months old. I had just started working and the hubs had to take her to get her shots. I was grateful to not have to go, truth be told. He had called me the moment they left the doctors to inform me that she hadn't cried, had done well and everything was fine. I was very relieved, as my mom guilt had started to set in from going back to work.

I walked in the door from work that evening, sat my bag down and walked towards the two of them sitting on the couch. I remember so vividly how the moment she saw me she started to cry. She couldn't talk (obviously lol), but I completely understood that she was trying to tell me what had happened to her that day. I cradled her in my arms and we sat on the couch and cried together for a very long time. It still brings tears to my eyes.

This next story occurred when she was just born. We would often just sit and watch her sleeping. This day I sat next to her while she slept soundly on our bed....when suddenly she started shaking.... her arms and legs started convulsing. I panicked for a second thinking it may be a seizure of some sort, and then, loudly, she laughed. It was more than a laugh, it was a deep joyous bellow of giggles and the hugest, prettiest smile I had ever seen on her. Then, as quickly as it had started, it was over. It was months before I ever saw a laugh like that again, but fortunately those came when she was awake, so I didn't chance missing them.
