Today was a momentous day.  Lark laughed and she laughed a lot.  It was so cute!!! Both Martin and I were there to see it.  Of course, the second I whip out the video camera, she stopped. But hopefully we’ll have footage soon.  Martin was playing with her in her bouncer and she just started giggling.  And when she laughed, we all laughed because it was just so darn cute!  And Martin was having a grand old time because he was the one making her laugh.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him laugh so hard.  Good day all around.

In case anyone’s wondering, we all survived her first day in daycare. I had a goal of not crying until getting to Bangerter, but I didn’t quite make it.  However, that was the only cry I needed and I was okay the rest of the day.  I did call and check in once though .  When it comes down to it, I feel good about the daycare we selected and after picking her up on Friday, I still felt pretty good about it.  Poor Lark hasn’t quite taken to bottle feeding however, but we’re working on it.  She took one from the sitter last Saturday and her first bottle at the daycare was a good one.  Today we picked up a new bottle where the nipples are more breast-like and Martin said she took to those better.  So we’re optimistic that this week she’ll start to love the bottle.  I mean, there’s a part of me that thinks it’s pretty cool that she doesn’t like eating from anything but Mama and if I had it my way, that’s all she would know until it was time to wean.  But under the circumstances that can’t happen so hopefully this week she will learn to love the bottle AND Mama’s breast.  They don’t need to be mutually exclusive.
