Little laughs

Melina laughed for the first time on August 16 - I mean a real recognizable laugh, not just a squeal. Two local kids had come over to see her, and they were making clicking sounds with their mouths and bobbing their heads up and down. Melina broke out laughing - kind of a creaky laugh, like the laugh of someone who hasn't laughed in many years (or who has never laughed at all!). She's done it a few times since, and I think it will be more common now. She was laughing at her reflection in the mirror this morning.
