Dexter can count in both Spanish and English, but regardless of which language he is rambling off his numbers – five is always FIVE!

Dexter got an extra special celebration at daycare yesterday.  We sang Mexico’s Happy Birthday song (which, after 5 years I still cannot remember all the words … unlike ours which literally only has 6 words) AND the U.S. Happy Birthday song.

He even blew out his own candles, sort of.

Happy Birthday, you handsome little devil!

May you always wear a smile and have THIS MUCH enthusiasm … as if you just got away with using your finger paints as body paint.

We love you, baby!

Alex is 4 months today!

We tried so hard to get cute smiley pictures last night, but Alex was far more interested in what her big brother was doing … which was trying to figure out how the camera works, or more specifically – how to get “Nena’s” photo to appear on the screen.

It was a vicious cycle which ended in slightly unfocused, blurry, distracted photos.  Come to think of it, that description is pretty fitting for our lives right now!

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!
