yesterday miss ella had her shots. the dtap one - which is diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) - and another which is for polio and meningitis... i believe.
one shot in each of her poor little quadricep muscles. there is a tiny red dot on each of her thighs now. my poor baby.
but apparently she was a trooper. she cried, of course, but didn't scream, and calmed right down when neela breast-fed her on the spot.
last night i held ella sitting up facing me in my lap and was talking to her. i laughed about something and she smiled this HUGE smile and laughed back. o my god, it was incredible. so i kept on laughing and smiling and she kept on too!!! this went on for about 3 or 4 minutes. she was laughing with these little cooing and exlamation sounds and her smile just lit up her whole face. wow.
wow.
