Totally not your fault!
I used to comfort myself by imagining some future world where folks with money got to buy designer babies to raise, and ended up with kids like your dd or my son. Hah! You get this for free!
My son used to grab my neck, just under the chin, and point my face in his direction. Lovely. I had no clue what that was about except 'well, he must want my attention.'
My favorite comment was from one of my DH's co-worker's wives, after a few hours at an event,
"All I hear is 'X this' and 'X that' - but he's a real handful!"
Since DS15 is my first and only, I just figured that all babies are like that at home where no one can see but mama.
We had to cut his hair while he slept in the carseat, but at least could do that while parked. To cut the fingernail, DH had to drive the car slowly and carefully, while I clipped in the backseat. Otherwise loud screaming.
It's great to hear that the belly laughs are coming...don't freak out that she laughs when you trip - that is normal! Try to 'trip' on purpose more often.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
