I am so glad we captured Stella's exuberant baby giggles a few weeks ago. We haven't really heard them since. Apparently, we are just not that funny to her anymore.
We are working our tails off trying to hear that giggle again, but no dice. The most we can get is this mannish little chuckle, it sounds sort of like a lawnmower starting ("heh-heh-heh-heh-heh").
She acts delighted, sort of doing the silent laugh like my friend Tammy used to do, where the face is laughing, but no sound comes out. And so we keep doing whatever it is, tickling, singing, waving our hands in the air like we just don't care, you name it. She seems to quickly tire of us. My sister thinks she is just like me, on the not-so-easily-impressed side. Like, "ok, that was funny, now what?" She enjoys it all, but no baby hysteria.
Stephen does this great thing where he is like a wild pig rooting for truffles on her tummy. She goes insane, but of course no giggles. It's the closest thing though. All he has to do is snort at her and she lights right up.
She's a very happy baby, but we are just dying to hear that giggle again...
