Crawling!

Dear Vinny,

Last night you put it all together and figured out how to crawl! I am so excited for you!

Apparently it was after I had gone to bed. Daddy put you on the floor, and you crawled. You're not that skilled at crawling yet, but you're getting better at it with practice. Daddy says he put you on one side of the living room, and turned on the keyboard on the other side, and within a minute or two he heard the strains of a certain baby playing music.

Tonight was Mommy and Daddy's wedding anniversary, so we all went out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Daddy packed some cheerios and a piece of cooked ground buffalo patty for you to eat. You are really good at eating cheerios nowadays. You are also a big fan of buffalo. I tear off small, bite-sized pieces and put them on your tray along with the cheerios, and you select the buffalo meat over the cheerios.

But anyhow, we were at this restaurant. You sat in a high-chair and ate your cheerios. You charmed the waiter, who was very attentive to you. A family with several adult daughters sat at the table next to us, and you flirted with the women, who found you utterly adorable. I tried to get you to drink some of my water with a straw, but you didn't quite understand that you needed to suck on the straw. Daddy says we should try a bigger straw.

Thanks for being such a good sport on Mommy and Daddy's anniversary. Adding you to our family has been a wonderful thing!

Love,
Mommy
