Oh, He's Got My Hair!

Raspberries on Video

We went hog wild with the video camera this afternoon and caught Dexter during a raspberry-fest.

The Best Husband In the World

I've always known how wonderful Ben is but sometimes it's nice to be reminded of it - and last night I got one of those reminders. After three nights of very little sleep, last night I went to bed exhausted at 8:30pm. Around 11:15pm I heard Dexter crying and got out of bed ready to stick a boob in his mouth and saw that Ben had already gotten him and was feeding him a bottle so I could keep sleeping. I went back to bed feeling loved and cared for. And Dexter then slept the whole rest of the night. Of course I had to pump my overly full and leaky breasts as soon as I got to work this morning but it was worth it to get a much needed long stretch of sleep!!

It's A Sad (and Smelly) State of Affairs

Usually I have been able to get a quick shower in while Dexter takes an afternoon snooze but lately he's decided that he doesn't want an afternoon snooze and would rather have my undivided attention from the time I get home from work until the time he goes to bed for the night. Yesterday, I actually had to leave work an hour early so that I could run home and have a shower before Ben left for work. I feel (and smell) a million times better.

Squeals!

Arms up, arms out, arms down now elicits very loud squeals of delight!

Visitors!

Today the Gitlow-Hecker crew came by for a visit. They braved the snowstorm and even brought bagels. This time we remembered to take pictures (probably wouldn't have if Elissa hadn't mentioned it!). A great time was had by all. My Bologna found a new buddy in Ian (check out the matching ears). We were worried that Ian would recognize all the equipment he's letting Dexter use and want to take it home with him. He recognized the swing and bouncy seat and walker but was happy to show Dexter how to use it and didn't demand anything back. Good boys!
