Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl, Alexandra!

“And if one fine day you got bored and you said, ‘Today I’m not me, I’m a lion instead’ even if I’d never heard it before, I’d know it was you by the sound of your roar.”

Thank you to Nancy Tillman for giving me the perfect way to express my love for my little darling who is, coincidently, going through a phase of roaring right now (literally roaring in everyone’s face) … trust me we know Alex’s ROAR!

He can sing the ABC’s, count to 20 in two languages, and breath fire fiercer than any dragon.  Dexter has mastered all the life skills he needs for being THREE!

Despite all the work we put into the Dragon Party, the School Party totally trumped it!

We had the most wonderful afternoon at Dexter’s school while his teacher talked about what it meant to complete 3 years.  After we shared Dexter’s story, his friends gave him a special card they made and then each one took turns saying something nice to him … I lost count of how many “Te quiero” and “Te amo” were said!

Dexter has been practicing!  “Dee-tee” is now a very audible “Dex-ter”!

… we’re still working on the “Andres Izquierdo”.

You are sweet and happy and silly and a little dare devil  …  You scream “Hola!” at every person you see  …  You can do a 180 faster than anything I’ve ever seen (we just have to show you a diaper).

You are absolutely everything we could have wished for in a little girl and we love you!

Welcome to Daily Dex!

We live in Mexico City, Mexico. Our families live in the Midwest, USA. The distance didn't seem so bad when it was just my husband and I, but after Dexter arrived, and especially after Alexandra arrived, 1500 miles was just too much for our families.

Shortly after Dexter was born, so was Daily Dex: our little blog is designed to be a safe haven for all the gushing, bragging and sharing of Dexter’s & Alex's daily accomplishments and adorable little milestones.

In other words, if you came here – you are asking for it!
