Up at 4:45 again this morning, only Matt got up with her today. I did get to sleep until 6am, but then I couldn't sleep anymore. Now Sam has *me* in the habit of getting up early! Those of you who know me will realize what an impossible thing has happened.

Her current favorite things are to hide her face for a second when someone new greets her. She also loves examining teeth. I can't say I always love having her shove her fingers in my mouth, but that's parenthood, I guess. She also has started to notice ceilings, particularly the cut glass light fixtures in the hallways. I have to move fast to catch her when she flings her head back to examine the pretty light patterns. Sunlight is also fascinating. Samantha gazes at sunbeams and moves her hands in and out of the sun. I don't know if the heat is interesting or if it is just a visual interest. Maybe both? She is fascinating to watch, can you guess? Oh yes, and keyboards are always high on the fascination list. She's gotten to three of them that now sport missing keys. The keys pop off very easily, actually.
