Samantha is gorgeous. I do think she just shines with happiness and strength of purpose. She gave me a big smile this morning. I think she has been awake for a while and was just playing quietly in her crib. I got up because it was 8am and time to start the day. Everything seems to start better when Samantha smiles. She was sitting in my lap after her bottle, squirming to go explore. I started bouncing her and singing "Pony Boy" and her whole face lit up. When I stopped, she smiled, no, grinned, and started bouncing on her own. Well, I can take an obvious hint, so we did "Pony Boy" a few more times. She loves a lot of physical interaction now. "Itsy Bitsy Spider" when the spider crawls up her, the rain slides down her and the sun rises up her is also a favorite, but "Pony Boy" trumps all so far.
