Baby on the train

Tonight, on my way home on the subway, I sat near a man with a baby who was about 4 months old. She looked very much like Andy Griffith:


From her perch on her father's lap, she openly surveyed everything around her with open-mouthed wonder. And pretty much without exception, I saw everyone in our half of the subway car (the couple sprawled together with legs entwined, the thirty-something southeast Asian man, the elderly woman with support stockings) was either watching or furtively glancing at her. Smiles flitted across every face. She was utterly irresistable.

Even a homely baby has her charms. :)
