Other People's Babies.

Went to visit four-day old Dakotah Layne today. Oh yes, and Elissa and Chris, too. Isn't that the way it is? With a new baby in the house, everybody else in the family fades into a supporting role, and the occupant of the bassinet in the living room is the star of the show.

I held her tiny, warm body and played with her big feet as she yawned, smiled, stretched and slept. Elissa suggested this might speed up my wanting a baby. I loved on this one, then her mommy took her and put her back in the bassinet. Oh, she's delish.

Then, we went to see eleven-day old Katie Rose, but she wasn't home.

Nope. My biological clock is still quiet, and digital. I don't even know what time it is.
