Eleanor is giggling now. We worked very hard back in the day to get just a minimal courtesy-laugh from Henry, but E practically gives them away. All you have to do is bonk yourself in the head with some stuffed animal and say "Boing!". It's pretty dang great.
Also, she is just awesome in her own way. I change her diaper once a night (how kind of me) b/c she sleeps longer, and last night, in my mostly-asleep haze, I got her foot caught in the diaper without realizing it. So when she woke this morning I went to change her diaper and saw that her foot/leg was missing! Then I saw that it was folded up in...her...diaper. I opened the diaper and there was her poor little foot, all shriveled up from being wet for hours and hours. She didn't even wake up that whole time! She is out when she's sleeping. Which is fantastic...but yeah, I wish I had known. I felt awful.
In other news, I heard Chela call her "Gordita" which means "Little fatty" in Spanish (basically). She definitely has some chub on her but she's very petite. Probably only 23 or 24 inches long I'm guessing. I won't know till next Friday when she has her 4 month exam. This is basically meaningless though b/c Henry was ridiculously large and long very very fast (she's still not as long as he was at 2 months)and he evened out around 18 mos. Sometimes they grow quickly and sometimes slowly but I'm pretty sure it will all even out to about avg. when all is said and done.
