Baby Dexter

Two weeks ago I got to spend a week with my brother and sister-in-law and their two adorable boys. Baby Dexter was born 24 hours and 1 minute after my birthday but I will forever claim that we share the day.

The week was spent having breakfast dates with Callum, the 19-month old big brother; spotting any truck that drove by the house; park visits; lots of diaper changes and bottle sanitizing; squishy cheek kisses; and lots of laughter.

I cried as I left and tried to process my intense sadness on the way home. I loved the quality time I got to spend with my brother and sister-in-law. I loved the family dinners around the table. I loved quickly developing a routine with Callum in the mornings. I loved holding Dexter and rocking him to sleep. And I hated not knowing when Iā€™d get to see them all again. I am forever grateful for the time I had with them and will cherish that week for the rest of my life.

Thank goodness for FaceTime and fair warning to my brother and sister-in-law that I may just show back up at their house.

Welcome to the family, baby Dexter! We love you, and your brother, so much!
