Thanks for putting up with me...

Dear Nicky,

Although you woke up a little too early this morning, overall you were pretty great. You ate a lot better than you have all week, leading me to think it was perhaps more than just teething that was bothering you. I know I had an upset stomach for most of the week, and most likely you did too. Today you were most like your old self, drinking and eating well, although you did spit up a number of times. But it was never a huge amount. Your sitting efforts are getting better all the time. And today we tried something new. Since you stand pretty well, I stood you up and with me behind you helping you move your legs, we walked around the room. You did great, smiling and clapping the whole time. At one point, near the red chair, you tipped forward and immediately reached out to catch yourself beautifully. That is a significant reflex. It wasn't clumsy or tentative. It was exciting to see. Well done!

Love,
Dad
