I finally did it... I made one of my babies laugh for the first time. In Navajo tradition when a baby laughs the person who makes her laugh throws her a party. We had a great time and I got to hear the first laugh from Lola and it made me feel great!
We were playing patty cake when it happened; she loves to smile and laugh when you clap her hands together.
This was the actual day that it happened: October 14, 2010
Here is the day of her party. Those are spider webs in the back, the house was decorated for Halloween. 
The baby has to put salt on each of the foods as a blessing.
It is said if you don't the baby will be grumpy and stingy for the rest of her life. We're not super traditional but it is fun to have get togethers and to celebrate all those firsts.
She is kind of a funny baby, in the fact that she really is cautious with giving away her smiles and giggles too freely. She's a happy kid but most of the time looks very thoughtful. After I made her laugh the first time it was about 3 more weeks before she did it again. She is starting to laugh a little more but she really makes you work for it. Hopefully we have lots of more laughs and giggles to come. There is nothing more sweet or pure than the laugh of a brand new baby.
