Time Flies

I read this quote somewhere in the past couple of weeks. It probably was in one of the different emails I get every week, like Baby Weekly or What to Expect.  Anyways, it goes like this "The days are long but the years fly by".  How true, how true.  Sometimes I look at Samantha and think I'm going to burst emotionally, mentally, and physically. I am so IN LOVE with this little girl it amazes me everyday.  I always knew that the love I would feel for a child would be different than the love for my mom & dad, and husband.  It is just interesting in the "types" of love a person can feel. 

This morning I had to wake Samantha up at 6:30 to get her ready for Joy.  She didn't actually open her eyes for the first 5 minutes I had picked her up and was talking to here.  But when I first said something to her, she gave me that sleepy smile with her eyes shut.  Melt my heart.   I love picking her up in the afternoons.  This afternoon, Joy had her sitting in the bumbo in front of a mirror.  Samantha was trying to grab at the baby in the mirror.  Joy motioned at me to come in and peek.  I watched her for a few minutes and then said something to Joy, quietly as to not interrupt the exploration that was going on.  Yea, right.  That little head whipped around trying to find her Momma!  Then on the way home she was tilting her head up and turning just so she could look at me while I drove us home.  When I would take a peek at her, she would do her little grunt and coo at me.  I will never tire of her smiles.
