my delicious shrimp

Hello there.

You are my little baby. My tiniest one. What do you think you are doing, learning all these new baby skills?

In the past week:

• I found you sitting up in your crib. Your face was a bit perplexed and scared at the position you had gotten yourself into all by yourself.
  
• You grew a tooth. You don't seem too happy about it, but are pleased to rub it on the tip of the sippy cup you've been trying out.
  
• You thrilled Joey when you pulled yourself up to your knees from a sitting position when he was playing with you in the basement. I don't know who was cuter -- you or Joey ecstatically yelling for us to come see your latest feat.
  

It's like somebody sent you a "grow up" memo and you are taking it seriously.

Don't you know you are my delicious shrimp? You are supposed to stay small for ever.
