Sweet Audrey

I had a mole (not the animal) removed from my butt last week and this morning Ben, Dexter, and I went to the doctor's office to have the stitches removed. Dexter entertained the waiting room for about 20 minutes while the doctor did his business then we set out for brunch at Feed. Dexter had BBQ pork and chicken, sauteed spinach, and macaroni and cheese, signing for "more" when he finished what was on his plate. Then, we headed over to visit Dexter's newest friend, Audrey Jeannette Bell. She was finishing a feeding when we arrived so Katie let me hold her when she was done. She felt so tiny and warm, so snuggly, tiny little cooing and mewing sounds of a satisfied and comfortable baby every once in a while escaped from her lips. Dexter wasn't immediately interested in Audrey - he was busy exploring his new surroundings and playing with Nic - but he came over a couple of times to see what Mommy was holding. He reached out and touched her head and then moved on to explore other new things. Something tells me he's going to take after his daddy when it comes to relating to girls.
