Today, you fed yourself with a spoon. It was the cutest thing to see. I took video, which I hope to upload soon. You made a mess but you figured out how to use that spoon rather quickly.

You're walking so much now, I can't believe it. I know you were a late walker but I'm glad about that. It gave me a little more time to digest your growth and development.

I have to leave you next week for a night or two for work. I already have that sick feeling in my stomach about it. I just don't want to have to miss you.
