An early night...

Dear Nicky,

Well, sporto, you were certainly quite active today, so I guess you tired yourself out pretty good. You went down at about six, which is not your earliest, but you haven't gone to sleep this early in a while. You're still fighting a cold, I guess. (I hope it's a cold.)

It looks like you might start crawling soon. You've mastered pivoting. You're so good at it, it's more like rapid scrambling. Whenever something catches your interest, you reach for it and squirm and corkscrew your way forward. Your little butt goes into the air, so achieving four point position on your own can't be too far behind.

We were a little worried that you didn't get enough to eat, but about an hour after you retired you made your usual smacking sounds in your sleep, so I got six ounces into you, changed you, put you in your sleepsack and dumped you off for the night. Don't get up too early!

Love,
Dad
