Just got in from an evening at my friend Kenny's. We spent the last few hours watching the baby and the Phillies and playing Civ3. It's been amazing watching Isabella grow and learn. She might be just about the happiest baby I've ever met. She's 9 mos. and she's walking and babbling and never stops smiling.
What is it about babies that brings such joy to one's heart? Need to think about that.

They aren't tainted by the world, downtrodden because of their failures and insecurities, or worried about what tomorrow will bring. Seeing a familiar or friendly face, getting their nourishment, sleeping, discovering some new thing in the world (like their toes!) -- simple things make them happy.
