I went to check on Dexter during his nap only to find him not only awake, but perfectly entertained talking to his mobile animals and playing with his blanket.

The jungle gym continues to be a household favorite! As Dexter’s curiosity grows, so does the number of toys and animal friends.

Sophie the Giraffe
05 Saturday Nov 2011
Dexter has a new best friend and her name is Sophie …. Sophie, the Giraffe.
I heard that Sophie was one of those “must have” toys but it wasn’t until this week that I realized just how true that was! Dexter cannot be without her and will search her out in a pile of toys.

Airplane
14 Friday Oct 2011
Tummy time doesn’t seem so bad when it comes in the form of an airplane! We got some really great suggestions from our last tummy time post (thank you!) and the airplane method seems to be working the best.
Dexter is happy to participate for at least 2 minutes now!
The game usually comes to an end when he either starts crying or starts drooling on me … you can see both happened simultaneously this time! (Gross, Dexter!)
My First Baseball Hat
11 Tuesday Oct 2011
I would imagine that a little boy’s first baseball hat is somewhat of a milestone. Well, Dexter just fit into his very first.
Maybe I should have put Daddy in charge of picking up the first hat, though. In retrospect “Here Comes Trouble” doesn’t seem worthy of such a milestone.
We’ll report back when he gets a REAL baseball hat.
Tummy Time: Part II

Dexter still hates tummy time. But Grandpa Arled insists we must keep trying. I believe him – not only is he an excellent doctor, but he and Linda also raised three boys who seem to have developed all the necessary skills for crawling, walking and just general day-to-day activities.
But I hate, hate , HATE hearing my baby cry … even more, to make him cry. I much prefer the “hero” role. I can swoop in and solve just about any cry with a bottle, big hug, or a game of peek-a-boo.
Dave and I tried slowly rolling him on his tummy (hoping he wouldn’t realize his new position). But by the third try he had us figured out and was clearly pleading for me to save him. I think I am beginning to hate tummy time as much as Dexter.
Please … send your tips on how to convince a three-month old that tummy time is exciting.

Trumpet Boy
02 Sunday Oct 2011
Dexter has become quite the little noise maker! He has discovered how to make a buzzing sound and it is his new favorite thing to do … we may have a future Louis Armstrong on our hands.
I caught a few of his personal concerts throughout the week on video.

Hands!

Dexter is discovering his hands!
Yesterday, I caught him examining his fist and recently he has begun taking hold of toys and blankets. And of course he has holiday-appropriate toys for the occasion.
(Thank you Grandma Renee for the Frankenstein rattle!)
