Baby Talk

Dexter has been pretty vocal from day one. He came out with a healthy cry and about an hour after he was born, he started screaming like nobody's business (Ben's face was filled with terror). He's been discovering his voice lately beyond the grunts (feed me) and cries (burp me or hold me) and giggles (keep doing whatever you're doing) that have become the norm. Yesterday we had a bunch of "conversations" where he and I would take turns making sounds at each other. My favorite was when I said, "I love you," and he looked me straight in the eyes and slowly said, "glue". I've got to get a video of this stuff - it's wonderful!
