I hope you never lose that childlike wonder, baby. Timmy looks like he’s trying to see which part of my face to drool on first. Or trying to determine which part of his toy he wants to nibble on. Or reading his favorite book. Or awaiting his next spoonful of cereal. Or watching his Nonna [...]

Dear Timmy, You’re turning six months old in a few days. Wasn’t it only yesterday when you’d stay awake through the night and I’d kid you that you were living in New York time? You sleep through the night now, only waking up to feed a little bit. Then you fall back into your baby [...]
