Here's another shot of you sleeping next to Daddy. I know we're not supposed to let you sleep on the pillows, but they make it possible for us to nurse lying down, and then we both fall asleep, and you haven't suffocated yet. So don't, okay? (Also, clearly in this picture I'm awake and supervising your father and the Fluffy Pillow of Doom.)
