Little eating machine...

Dear Nicky,

You're the sweetest little kid I've ever known. I'm so proud to have you as my son. You might need some help these early days, and I don't know what the future will bring, but I do know we'll face it together. Earlier I took you out of your crib to feed you. You pounded the bottle while still asleep. I just remember thinking how beautiful you are as I lifted your limp, sleeping little body out of bed. Then, you feasted while still asleep, and when you were done you immediately went lax again. I remember thinking how well formed you are, how good looking. Oh, and don't ever think it's just me that thinks so. Mom is insane with love for you. She adores you. She and I both think you're just this wonderful little kid with a big smile to go with his big heart.

Love,
Dad
